Hi,
I pulled the latest from the simh git hub and built vax730, vax750 and
vax780.
I initially tried to install the UWisc 4.3+NFS from a tape image, using
a recipe I found.
It fails when I try to "newfs ra0h ra81". The error is "write error:
759667"
It looks like the driver is trying to write past the end of the disk;
but the rq code in simh is not seeing that.
It does not seem to be throwing any errors.
I'm not sure how to debug this; I added some printfs to pdp_rq.c; There
seems to be some debug disk logging inside simh but I can't find any
docs about how to use it...
I also tried a stock 4.3BSD distribution and I see exactly the same
behavior.
My memory is dim on where the partition info is, but I think in this
case it's hard coded in the unix kernel.
I might go back and try some very old simh vax releases, since it seems
like this use to work. If anyone has any ideas or insight, I'm all ears.
