Ah, so if the problem indicates a problem with the system disk then that explains things better. I think I know where to look now because the system disk is actually on a different machine and accessed using CIFS, so there is a problem in that area. I took it to be a problem with the vmb.exe file.

The "%BOOT-F-Unable to locate BOOT file" message is being issued by the code from vmb.exe. This would suggest to me that the disk image you are trying to boot from has somehow gotten corrupted. I'd pull that image off the raspberry to an environment where you have a working simulator and attach the disk image as an additional disk on that simulator and use then look around at the details of the contents. Good Luck. - Mark From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rob Jarratt Sent: Saturday, September 08, 2012 2:03 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [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@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
