SIMH hangs for me at the same place with 7.2 and 7.3.
Funny thing is, I never even get the "mount verification" message when
booting to SYS1 on the CD from a REAL microvax.

I just tried,
my VAX 7.2 VMS CD also boots into a minimal VMS from
SYS1 on my MicroVAX. So I guess they changed it between 7.1 and 7.2.
I don't know where they changed but I looked
at a V7.1 binary disk and it had a [SYS1]
directory with many files underneath. The
easy-to-spot difference between S/A BACKUP
and full OpenVMS boot is the number of files.
I don't have either V6.2 or V6.1 to hand so I
don't know if this (undocumented and
unsupported) facility was there back then.

%SYSTEM-I-MOUNTVER, DUA1: has been write-locked. Mount verification in

I assume that there's a bug in SIMH causing the mount verification to
take forever....and that if it completed it would be in a minimal
environment.
