Just to confirm latest git src (MicroVAX 3900 simulator V4.0-0 Beta git commit id: 1cd89258) also works fine for me. Another random thought, can you confirm you can read the contents of the ISO image OK outside of simh? It should have an ISO9660 partition of 1331200. [I *hate* to be of those who

On the offchance it helps I've attached my config for booting NetBSD-7 on the stock simh-3.9.0nb4 from pkgsrc, and a boot via 'b dua1'. Maybe if you posted your .simh file and the output again we might be able to work out whats up? I could also try the latest git source to see if my config still

Hello! Not yet. I only snagged the first three of the 5 series that I could find. For example 5.1.3 worked as far as being booted from the stock release. (Installation is next.) I'm going to try 5.1.4 and 5.1.5 next. Also 5.2 and stuff between them, and including your 7 suggestion. And Mark? I'm

Hello! I'm still not certain what's going on here. But I downloaded a copy of the last known release from the website, and built it. And then followed the procedures. In this case it was to try and boot an image of 5.1.3 and it worked. I'm going to need to spend more time on this. Mark when you

Hello! Yes indeed. I saw that well after I sent off the message. The, ah, render engine, for FireFox on Linux doesn't properly render the pages for the NetBSD site. Why? That's asking for too much. As I said, I'll try again later. But that is good advice. I should mention that I'm returning to

Hello! Same problem as before, again with the proper location for the CD as the VAX emulation knows its there. The routines start as before then at the prompt I enter boot dua1:. Then the simulation escapes back to prompt for itself rather then a VAX prompt and that's where I'm stuck. Oh and this
