It's been a fun journey but I finally have 2.11 BSD (Patchlevel 431)
running on my real 11/93.
On to the next challenges.
Does anyone know which serial device I should configure for in order
to get the other serial lines working? Everything I read says they
are DL lines and calls the builtin controller a DLV22. There is no
such device in the 2.11 config. Any suggestions?
I believe the console plus the seven additional serial lines show up as
individual DL11 units; these are configured via the NKL parameter in your
kernel configuration. Set it to 8 and see what happens...
Also having trouble with the ethernet. It won't come up. Are there
network modules that do not work under 2.11?
Can you elaborate as to what you're doing here (what hardware, how you're
bringing it up, etc) and what errors you're getting or what behavior you're
seeing?
Any chance that any of this will be fixed if I go ahead and patch it
up to 450? I was holding out doing the additional patching until I
had everything running but maybe because the 11/93 was the last PDP-11
made maybe there is stuff in there that was added later.
I plan to go at it slowly as I had a lot of patches that failed when
I was doing this on a simulator but I want to try and get all of them
to work on this system.
It can't hurt anything, but my guess is that it's unlikely to solve your
networking issues.

At least I now have a real PDP-11 with a TMSCP tape working so I can
try making some real tapes for other things. I have four PDP-11s
set up right now with various configurations. I hope to have all of
them running something before I am done.
