[Simh] Problems Booting VAX Emulation on Raspberry Pi

I have had the 780 emulation running on my Raspberry Pi for some time now.
Recently I have had intermittent problems with vmb.exe, the problem seems to
have become permanent now though. I have re-copied vmb.exe to the machine
but the problem persists. Here is the log:

pi at raspberrypi:~$ sudo ./vax780

VAX780 simulator V3.9-0
libpcap version 1.1.1
Eth: opened OS device eth0
Debug output to "STDOUT"
Loading boot code from vmb.exe
%BOOT-F-Unable to locate BOOT filesim> q
Goodbye
Eth: closed eth0
Debug output disabled

The error about being unable to locate the BOOT file happens about 40
seconds after the "Loading boot code from vmb.exe" message.

Any ideas?

Regards

Rob
