Hi all. I made a couple of changes to 3bsd-dboot.ini so it will do the loading for you: set tto 7b set rq dis set lpt dis set rl dis set hk dis set rq dis set rqb dis set rqc dis set rqd dis set ry dis set ts dis set tq dis set dz 7b set dz lines=16 att dz -m 2311 set rp0 rp06 at rp0 rp06.disk set tu0 te16 D 30000 00009FDE D 30004 D0512001 D 30008 D004A101 D 3000C 0400C113 D 30010 10008F32 D 30014 D40424C1 D 30018 8FD00CA1 D 3001C 80000000 D 30020 320800C1 D 30024 A1FE008F D 30028 28C1D410 D 3002C 14C1D404 D 30030 C139D004 D 30034 c1d00400 D 30038 e1500404 D 3003C 00f75007 go 30000 <-- Change below this line and note "go 2" has moved expect "Boot" send "hp(0,0)vmunix\r";c expect "#" send "\004\r";c go 2 Enjoy...
