You mentioned that you "tried putting the system console on a telnet port,"
so you might have used the "SET CONSOLE TELNET" command

Typically you need to have devices online so the OS will see them at startup.
But for removable media devices (tapes and many disks) you may want to mount
the media (image files) later on, and switch them at runtime, exactly as you
would do with disk packs or tape reels on a real computer.
I thought you set all devices you planned to use "online" so you could
mount them later? I don't simh vax much so thanks for the correction as to
the procedure. I mostly do pdp8 or pdp11 stuff, or esoteric hardware.

It's common practice, and frequently a necessity, to mount media such as tapes
without rebooting the machine they're being

See section 3.15, "Remote Console" in the SIMH User's Guide. The "SET
REMOTE TELNET" command will allow you to attach and detach
Yes, but you were not able to attach in your startup script? That's when
to do it.

I've been experimenting with the SIMH VAX simulators a lot lately. The only way
I know of to mount a tape, disk pack, CD-ROM, etc. after boot time is to halt
the simulation with ^e to get to the SIMH command prompt, ATTACH the desired
image, and then resume the simulation with CONTINUE.
