Your instructions say to use disklabel. However, there is no disklabel
in the default root execution path on the 4.3 BSD image that I am running.

If Im remembering right, straight 4.3 pre-dates the labels, it's a

If you don't care, just use the 0c devices aka 'whole disk' ... or
I recall that working well enough.

Subject: [Simh] Adding storage to vax running 4.3BSD
What are the steps for adding storage to a SIMH vax (vax750, to be
specific) running 4.3BSD? I created disk image files on the host
OS of the proper size (for RA82s) and attached them through
the .ini file. However, they don't have partition tables and this
version of BSD doesn't seem to have a tool for creating them. So,
how do I put partition tables on the ra82 disk images?
Thanks,
alan
