Hello all,
is there any source known how and where to get the floppy images used in
the Ultrix-11 installation example?
Best regards

Okay, we'll start with the basics.
Download
http://www.bitsavers.org/bits/DEC/pdp11/magtapes/ultrix-11/Ultrix11-install…
. This is a pre-formatted tape made for use in SIMH. Make a reasonable
pdp11.ini; mine looks like:
--
set cpu 4M
set cpu idle
set tq0 lock
att tq0 Ultrix11-install.tap
set tq1 dis
set tq2 dis
set tq3 dis
set rl dis
set rp dis
set rq0 rd54
att rq0 rd54-0.dsk
set rq1 dis
set rq2 dis
set rq3 dis
set xq type=deqna
;attach to whatever device you have...
--
run "boot tq" and then you should be at the point where you can follow the
instructions from
https://www.tuhs.org/Archive/Distributions/DEC/Fred-Ultrix3/setup-3.1.txt
Now for the more advanced stuff:
I had a recollection of having problems with installing Ultrix 3.1 on RA
disks so I went back through the install procedure and confirmed this - the
installer creates a /usr partition that is too small to hold the initial
dump from the install tape. So if you're going to install on a simulator
the drive should be an RD series. Ironically the RD31 gets the largest
/usr partition. I don't know how much testing this distribution got, or
who it was marketed to - I would be very interested to hear reports of it
being used in the field.

Yeah, they're on my web server https://www.crystel.com/pdp/os. Use the
.img ones for a Gotek, .imd ones to make floppies with teledisk or
whatever it was.

Hi Chris,
I was successfully able to transfer your floppy images and boot from
001.img using my Gotek
What's the difference between 001.img and 001-1.img?
Additionally which device I've to choose at the boot command?
Trying rx(..,..) I'm getting "not RX50 disk2".
