Hi All,
I've been trying to install NetBSD 2.0 on the SimH VAX emulator, but the
install text shows up as control codes, rather than correctly spaced and
formatted.
What have I done wrong?
You haven't done anything wrong -- SIMH doesn't provide any kind of
emulation other than straight TTY for its console window. I've run
Open VMS in Simh/VAX and have the same issue. You'll likely just have
to read around the control codes, and later use a telnet client to get
reasonable output, once the OS is installed.
