[Simh] networking with simh on MacOS?

[Jeremy C. Reed]

I have 

$ uname -mprsv
Darwin 10.6.0 Darwin Kernel Version 10.6.0: Wed Nov 10 18:11:58 PST 
2010; root:xnu-1504.9.26~3/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64 i386

I installed simh-3.8.1nb1 as installed using pkgsrc with these patches:

http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/emulators/simh/patches/?only_with_tag=MAIN

It is built using libpcap and USE_NETWORK=YES OSTYPE=darwin.

I am trying to use OpenBSD 4.9.

I am unable to get the networking to work:

  sim> at xq0 en0
  File open error

Any suggestions for the networking on Mac OS X?

My simh configuration is:

  load -r /Local/Users/jreed/opt/pkg//share/simh/ka655x.bin
  set cpu 64m
  at nvr openbsd.nvram
  deposit rq qtime 1000000
  set rq0 ra92
  at rq0 openbsd.ra0.disk
  set rq2 cdrom
  at rq2 floppy48.fs
  at xq0 en0
  boot cpu
  exit

It does boot that OpenBSD image.

The output including OpenBSD kernel output follows:

Welcome to the OpenBSD/vax 4.8 installation program.


The network devices are:

# ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=8008<LOOPBACK,MULTICAST> mtu 33200
        groups: lo
qe0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        lladdr 08:00:2b:aa:bb:cc

(You can can see that qe0 in the kernel output above too.)

I am able to assign qe0 and ping it. But I am not able to ping the 
gateway.

Any suggestion on how to get the networking to work?

Thank you.

p.s. By the way, I also had this ioctly error:

The auto-allocated layout for ra0 is:
disklabel: ioctl DIOCGPDINFO: Inappropriate ioctl for device

But I was able to use disklabel to create partitions and then the 
filesystem was created and mounted:

Filesystem  512-blocks      Used     Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ra0a      2888396         4   2743976     0%    /mnt

Originally I had:

-rw-r--r--  1 jreed  1007  1024 Oct 28 07:24 openbsd.nvram
-rw-r--r--  1 jreed  1007   512 Oct 28 07:17 openbsd.ra0.disk

Then disk image file became:

-rw-r--r--   1 jreed  1007   1505755136 Oct 28 08:01 openbsd.ra0.disk

So I guess it works.
