Hi, I wanted to try out OpenBSD on Differrent hardware Platforms. x86 and amd64 are the only ones I did try out till I came to know about SIMH.
http://www.openbsd.org/vax-simh.html explains how you can install a VAX emulator from OpenBSD ports and Install OpenBSD. Below is the Details of how a SIMH-VAX emulator boots OpenBSD 3.9 :-) Networking also functions well with the SIMH-VAX simulator. I did an FTP install from Internet because the VAX install sets for 3.9 was not available locally. I wonder what other simulators are available of differrent Hardware Architectures in which I can try out various BSDs. Please let me know if you have some suggestions :-) ======================================================================= # simh-vax openbsd.simh VAX simulator V3.5-2 NVR: buffering file in memory Eth: opened rl0 Loading boot code from /usr/local/lib/simh/vax/ka655x.bin KA655-B V5.3, VMB 2.7 Performing normal system tests. 40..39..38..37..36..35..34..33..32..31..30..29..28..27..26..25.. 24..23..22..21..20..19..18..17..16..15..14..13..12..11..10..09.. 08..07..06..05..04..03..
