[Simh] Where are the .dsk files?

[Christopher Cureau]

If you are trying to run Unix v5 from the pdp11 archive, perhaps you could 
try this instead:

sim> set cpu 18b

then attach the disk to rlk0, then boot rk0.  I am no simh guru, but 
that's how I've booted v5 in the past.

Cheers,
Chris Cureau

Booting an OS isn't really SIMH specific. Eg. in case of a simulated
VAX, you attach an ethernet card to your VAX' configuration, boot the 
CPU ("boot cpu" at the "sim>" prompt) and the rest really works like
a regular VAX. So in this case, "boot xqa0" would boot off the
network.

For other machines, this differs, because, well, these are different 
machines.

 I don't quite get you.. I'm trying to run a pdp11 simulation and don't 
know how to boot it. I'm using the U18 processor. Here's what I'm doing:

PDP-11 simulator V3.4-0
sim> set cpu U18
Disabling XQ
sim> attach unix_v5.dsk
Too few arguments
sim> attach rk0 unix_v5_rk.dsk
sim> boot rk0

HALT instruction, PC: 000002 (HALT)
sim> boot U18
Non-existent device
