All,
I'm a Vax newbie and 4.3 BSD newbie. I'm usually tooling around in V6/V7
and modern linux, mac, bsd environments. I'm used to SIMH, but from a
pdp11 perspective. I've never tried to get networking working in a SIMH
vm...
I'm having some difficulty configuring my newly installed 4.3BSD
Quasijarus for networking on my Mac Host and I'm hoping somebody here
might help me figure out what's up. The system boots up and displays:
checking quotas: done.
But then it hangs for a while trying to set up the logger. It hangs up
on services, sendmail, etc. I gather at this point that something's
amiss with my network on the instance or in my simh setup. After the
system comes up completely, I log in as root and ping yahoo.com - no
result. I ping 192.168.0.1 (my gateway), and then 127.0.0.1 and get a
result, but it's not what I'm hoping for -
PING 192.168.0.1: 56 data bytes
^C
----192.168.0.1 PING Statistics----
6 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
and
PING 127.0.0.1: 56 data bytes
^C
----127.0.0.1 PING Statistics----
4 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
Hmm. I'm stumped. All of my settings on the host and in the vax seem ok,
but I may be missing something obvious. Either way, it's not working.
The SIMH messages related to the nic are:
...
libpcap version 1.8.1 -- Apple version 67.60.2
Eth: opened OS device en1
...
then in the vax:
...
qe0 at uba0 csr 174440 vec 764, ipl 14
qe0: deqna, hardware address 08:00:2b:aa:bb:cc
...
I'm running on Mac OS X Sierra 10.12.6, 16GB RAM, etc. My SimH Vax is
MicroVAX 3900 simulator V4.0-0 Beta git commit id: 1d2742ed
I followed the really excellent notes at:
http://www.tavi.co.uk/unixhistory/quasijarus.html
and hit no significant snags at any point. I innocently changed some
parameters to suit my host environment:
ifconfig
en1: flags=8963<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST>
mtu 1500
ether 4c:8d:79:ef:2d:26
inet6 fe80::18dc:318c:1da7:5048%en1 prefixlen 64 secured scopeid 0x5
inet 192.168.0.4 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
nd6 options=201<PERFORMNUD,DAD>
media: autoselect
status: active
vax.ini
set xq enable
set xq type=deqna
attach xq0 en1
then in the stage 4 part of the install, I used 192.168.0.132 as my ip
(a free ip on my local net):
========== netstart source
cat /etc/netstart
#!/bin/sh -
#
# @(#)netstart 1.1 (Berkeley) 1/10/99
routedflags=-q
rwhod=NO
# myname is my symbolic name
# my-netmask is specified in /etc/networks
#
hostname=quasijarus
hostname $hostname
#ifconfig imp0 inet $hostname
#ifconfig de0 inet $hostname netmask my-netmask
#ifconfig qe0 inet $hostname netmask my-netmask
ifconfig qe0 192.168.0.132 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default 192.168.0.1 1
ifconfig lo0 inet localhost
route add $hostname localhost 0
hostid $hostname
========== disable named in rc
cat /etc/rc |grep named
#named; echo -n ' named' >/dev/console
========== use my local network dns
cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 192.168.0.1
========== set up name of instance
cat /etc/hosts
0.1 localhost localhost.my.domain
# Imaginary network.
0.2 myname.my.domain myname
0.3 myfriend.my.domain myfriend
192.168.0.132 quasijarus
==========
On rebooting, I hit the nic issues. Any ideas what's going on or further
diagnostic steps I can take? Advice much appreciated.
Will
