Hey, excellent!
May I suggest that after installing DECnet, you might want to install
TCP/IP? ;-)
Johnny
Thanks again

The 128k thing is physical memory, which is sonething else than size
of the disk. There is an option in simh in the config to explicitly
tell how large disk you want. Check the documentation.
Use a disk of at least 1g, and we can move on to the next problem,
which is going to be the number of file headers on the disk, unless
you read that manual I gave the link to.
Easy howto pages on the internet are nice, but sooner or later you
need to read the docs and understand what you are doing.

I tried running every size disk imaginable and I still get the
same error and it still states 128KW. The small disk I tried
was 159MB. BTW, that prebuilt system also had the same error and
128KW again and it was a approx 10MB Massbus disk running on a
11/45.Could this be a bug? I am following everything to a T.
Should I try a non-plus sysgen to see if I get the same error?____
Doing my best,____

This means that the disk you are running from (DU0:)
does not
have enough free space for RSX to allocate a checkpoint
file.____
Ah! Yes, of course. Thanks for that, Alan. Didn't even think
about the possibility that the disk would be that small,
since he was using MSCP.
Ray, start over, and create disk image files that are
larger.____
Start over and tell SIMH to make DU0: (rq0) larger. I
would
suggest at least 32 MB if you plan to do anything useful
with
the system. Don't go above 500 MB, however, as the
ODS-1 disk
structures can't handle anything that large.____
No, ODS-1 handles larger disks fine. The limit is 8G. If you
go above that, there is no harm, but the disk will just be
truncated to 8G anyway, so no point in going larger.
I would suggest something around 2G or so, and you're set
for life.
(Personally I run with four 8G drives, but then again, I'm
not exactly normal when it comes to RSX...)
