[Simh] [BUG] simh v3.2-3 won't boot NetBSD/VAX

[Peter "Firefly" Lund]

Hi,

simh v3.2-3 won't boot ISO versions of NetBSD/VAX 1.5.2 or 1.6.2 (I
haven't tried other versions).

I followed the 'NetBSD SIMH HOW-TO' at:
http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/vax/emulator-howto.html


This is a transcript of what happens:
