Not really, I just think it's an awesome model :) > Okay, wait, there's a lot going on here that I think we've missed. > You installed Quasijarus to an RA disk with the 3900 simulator and now > you're trying to move that disk to an 8600? Exactly. I had to do the installation on the 3900 simulator because the 8600 wouldn't boot from tape. > Does the disk have appropriate boot > blocks (raboot, bootra) > and does the kernel support the 8600? That I don't know. I know it boots on the 3900, so the boot blocks are in place. But no idea if they are 3900-specific, and I don't know if the kernel supports the 8600. > I have found that it is often easier - or even necessary - to load > boot blocks externally when working with the simulators for the large > hardware.

But it doesn't seem to run on the 8600: ------------------------------------------------------------------ +sim> load -o boot-vax8600 0 +sim> run 2 HALT instruction, PC: 00000003 (HALT) ------------------------------------------------------------------ But OTOH, I get the same result as above on the microvax3900. The plot thickens... Thanks for your comments, DN _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
