Hi all

I just got 4.2BSD up and running thanks to Jason's detailed explanation! 
Many thanks.

Now I thought I'd try 3BSD... I started by replacing my 4.2BSD vmunix by 
the vmunix in 3BSD, and that's what I get:
VAX780 simulator V3.5-2

Boot
: ra(0,0)vmunix
61856+61008+70120 start 0x4b4

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

simh crashed... I had a quick look with gdb, but the stack is wedged...

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

(gdb)

The stack trace looks rather useless to me... Any obvious ideas / 
starting points for debugging that?

regards
Rico
