Has anyone successfully installed NetBSD 4.0 on SIMH/VAX?
I tried using the vaxcd.iso image for NetBSD 4.0 and 3.0, and both
halt right after attempting to boot. I'm using the ore-compwindows
binaries for SIMH 3.8-0. I tried the ones with and without Ethernet
support.
Several years ago, I had NetBSD 2.0 or 1.6 running in SIMH.
I also tried OpenBSD 4.3, which boots fine, but fails during
installation while untarring base43.tgz.
I will try netbooting a real microvax with NetBSD once I get mopd
running on my Linux machine. Last time I ran it was with RedHat 7.2,
and I'm not sure if it will run on Fedora Core 7 that I'm running now.
