Well, as the mail subject says, I have a problem. After creating a bootable disk from a virgin Unix v7 distribution tape by following this guide, http://homepages.thm.de/~hg53/pdp11-unix/, and after umounting the usr file system and halting the machine, SIMH returns: HALT instruction, PC: 000002 (HALT) after running the command: pdp11 run.conf and I cannot boot my 87,9 MB 'system.hp' disk. I thought the problem was on the final line of 'run.conf': run 2002 But when I use SIMH without .conf files and by manually typing the following commands: set cpu 11/45 set cpu 256k set rp0 rp04 attach rp0 system.hp boot rp0 I see the same HALT message too. I'm currently unning SIMH from Debian/Ubuntu package 3.8.1-5build1. Should I update to a newest one? Or did I make a mistake when creating my bootable disk? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
