Something else to try.

After boot, at the "start timesharing" prompt, ask for "hardware list".  It 
should show the LP; if not, it meas that the boot autoconfiguration code did 
not see an LP controller.

If it's shown there, start with the "START" command (not just Return for the 
default fast start).  Look for device disabled messages before the prompt from 
the startup script.

Did you ask for line printers during sysgen?  Can you show the generated 
config.mac (produced by running the sysgen program)?

[Simh] PDP11 oddity with RSTS 9.6

[Gene Irwin]

Hello guys,

I have tried simh 3.9 and 4.0 and have this odd issue.

I got a copy of a built rsts on rpo6, and the copies of the .tap files used
to gen this image.  it is v9.6.

If I boot the prebuilt hard drive image the system comes up just fine.

If I boot the tape and go through the sysgen process the hard drive image
that is built has no lp0: device in the monitor, and the spooler fails
during boot and keeps the rest of the start.com script from running, making
the system come up in a single user mode with job max at 2.

I've tried diferent processors (11/70 up to 11/94), LPT is enabled in simh,
and I'm not sure what to try next.

If I boot the prebuilt image and do show devices _LP0: is present.
If I boot the sysgen'd image and do show devices, there is no _LP0:

anyone got any ideas?

Hi Gene,

It is not clear if you say you’re seeing the same behavior on 3.9 vs 4.0.

Please confirm.

Also your configuration file and the output of sim> SHOW VERSION on 4.0 will be 
useful.

The point of these questions is to determine if you’re having a simh issue or a 
rsts issue.

Hello guys,
I have tried simh 3.9 and 4.0 and have this odd issue.
I got a copy of a built rsts on rpo6, and the copies of the .tap files used to 
gen this image.  it is v9.6.
If I boot the prebuilt hard drive image the system comes up just fine.
If I boot the tape and go through the sysgen process the hard drive image that 
is built has no lp0: device in the monitor, and the spooler fails during boot 
and keeps the rest of the start.com<http://start.com> script from running, 
making the system come up in a single user mode with job max at 2.
I've tried diferent processors (11/70 up to 11/94), LPT is enabled in simh, and 
I'm not sure what to try next.
If I boot the prebuilt image and do show devices _LP0: is present.
If I boot the sysgen'd image and do show devices, there is no _LP0:
anyone got any ideas?
