Re: [Simh] NetBSD5.0.2

Well getting back to the start of the thread, what I've done here is regressed the idle code to include an "OLDVMS" option which set the idle timings and hook to the old pre 3.8-1 levels, allowing things like 4.2 BSD, and other BSD's to idle correctly. Note that this is *FAR* from tested, as I

Re: [Simh] NetBSD5.0.2

Got it! I didn't realise that the NETBSD in the set cpu idle command had to be in upper-case. I "set cpu idle=NetBSD" and of course that failed. When I changed to "set cpu idle=NETBSD" is started to work. Thanks for you patience and help (incidentally I worked it out by looking at the sourc

Re: [Simh] NetBSD5.0.2

Peter, I can't get the idle detection to work - Simh hogs the CPU. I am using "set cpu idle=netbsd". Try the simh_vax_cpu_idle patch I wrote. It is on sourceforge under the "unofficial patches" folder. Thanks for the idea. I looked and couldn't find it. Please could you supply the

Re: [Simh] NetBSD5.0.2

Deborah, Thank you for your message. Are you giving the emulator enough memory? NetBSD is growing. "set cpu 512m" I tried a different approach - I copied the hard disc image and tried an upgrade. I had a few errors to do with groups, but basically it worked and I now have NetBSD/Vax 5.0.2 wo
