Re: [Simh] simh vax boot right into disk image?

2015-10-24 Thread Johnny Billquist 
Another trick is to just give a config file as an argument to simh, and 
in that config file you also have the boot command...

Hi Bill,

First attach an NVRAM file which persists from one run to another.

Then at a >>> prompt type

Then in the configuration file you start the simulator with add the
following commands:

SET CPU CONH

DEP BDR 1

Greetings,

How do I get simh's vax simulator to boot into a disk image.

Right now I get the ">>>" prompt and then I need to type "boot dua0"

Thanks,

Bill

[Simh] rsx11m46.tpc and simh

2015-10-24 Thread Bill Cunningham 
I have some instructions on how to use the pdp11 simulator for the 
mentioned in the subject line. 

set cpu 11/45
set cpu 256k
set cpu idle

SET RL enable
set RL0 RL02
set RL1 RL02

SET RP ENABLE
SET RP0 RP06
ATTACH RP0 RP06.000
SET RP1 RP06
;ATTACH RP1 RP06.001

SET TS ENABLE
SET TS0 FORMAT=TPC
SET TS0 LOCKED

SET DZ ENABLE
SET DZ LINES=8
ATTACH -am DZ 11023

I am not sure the enableds are needed here. And a part additional is,

at ts0 rsx11m46.tpc
boot ts0

I am getting error codes. Does anyone happen to know simh well enough to get 
simh pdp11 to boot this file?

Hi Bill,

Please provide:

1)  The exact place where you picked up the tape image you are trying to 
boot from

2)  The exact output produced when you run the simulator with the provided 
configuration

Thanks

I’m the author of that blog, and I have just tried to repeat the initial boot 
of the install tape. I succeeded. Check the configuration of the emulated tape 
is EXACTLY like this:

TS  address=17772520-17772523, vector=224
attached to rsx11m46.tpc, read only, write locked, TPC format
unlimited capacity

(Use the SHOW CONFIG) command to display the configuration.  If the address and 
the vector are not precisely these then it is posible that you have configured 
something you should have not.

I tried to boot with the verbatim configuration I suggest in the blog post, and 
this is what I get (as expected):

sim> b ts


RSX-11M/RSX-11M-PLUS Standalone Copy System V04


RSX-11M/RSX-11M-PLUS Standalone Configuration and Disk Sizing Program

Valid switches are:
/CSR=nn to change the default device CSR
/VEC=nnn to change the default device vector
/FOR=n to change the default magtape formatter number
/DEV to list all default device CSR and vectors


Enter first device: 

I have not gone further thant that in the installation. 

The version of the simulator I’m using is this:

sim> show version
PDP-11 simulator V4.0-0 Beta
Simulator Framework Capabilities:
32b data
32b addresses
Ethernet Packet transports:PCAP:TAP:VDE:NAT:UDP

Hi Bill,

Once again, we could be more helpful if you provided what errors were produced 
when you followed this recipe.
