[Simh] VAX 780 emulation - How to install Netbsd

[Jason Stevens]

I had installed NetBSD 1.2 a while back.. I documented the steps here..
 
http://gunkies.org/wiki/Installing_NetBSD_1.2_on_the_SIMH_MicroVAX_II
<http://gunkies.org/wiki/Installing_NetBSD_1.2_on_the_SIMH_MicroVAX_II> 
 
And I should have an installed version kicking around on sourceforge
 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bsd42/
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/bsd42/> 
 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bsd42/files/4BSD%20under%20Windows/v0.4/NetB
SD-1.2-MicroVAXII.7z/download
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/bsd42/files/4BSD%20under%20Windows/v0.4/Net
BSD-1.2-MicroVAXII.7z/download> 
 
When NetBSD re-introduced support for the VAX I belive it was mostly the
730/750 and then the MicroVAX II.  The first bianry distribution I could
find was 1.2 although it was incredibly unstable in SIMH and I had to use
some parts of 1.3 to get it installed.
 
What version of NetBSD are you hoping to run?

Hello, I am unsure if this is the proper place to ask this question but here
goes. I have an interest in the Vax 780, I'm looking to run netsd on an
emulated vax 780 yet am unsure of how i should configure the machine and
start the install procedure.


There is a guide on how to do so at the netbsd site, however it documents
setting up and installing on a more modern microvax 3900, where as I am
interested in the Vax 780.

Any help on this matter is much appreciated.
