I know we used the system for a course programming in pascal, but that 
part is not necessary for the moment. I just want to make a screenshot 
and may be learning a bit of history as well. Bootstrapping hardware is 
one of the topics which fascinate me, and I already saw a lot of "new" 
things.

Unfortunately I don't know anybody with real or emulated VAX-11/780 or 
VAX-11/785 hardware, so that is the reason for trying to create my own 
virtual machine. And may be it is hard, but in the end it should be just 
getting the idea what and why must be done and the correct bits and odds...

I thought that somebody already made a howto because it seems that all 
the needed stuff can be found. I still hope someone can point me in the 
right direction. Off course I have to study the other replies to see if 
they help :-).

Thanks for your reply.
