John or anyone...regarding this:
The v3.2 version I have from bitsavers has the baseline disk a few
bytes larger than
an RL01 so simH autosized it (incorrectly) to an RL02. Hopefully
Mark?s new sizing
code should avoid this in the future. To copy an RL01 RSX disk to
an RL02 you can use
BRU (Backup and Restore Utility). Get the magtape image
BB-L974F-BC_RSX11M_4.5_BRU64K.tap from bitsavers. Attach your
RL01 image to
rl0 and create a new RL02 image attached to rl1. Boot the magtape:
first device is dl0:
second device is dl1:
I have made the bootable RL01 image and it works in simH. I have
BB-L974F-BC_RSX11M_4.5_BRU64K.tap in place but what kind of tape device do
I set in simH to attach it? I need to attach prior to booting and the
within RSX11/M
If you?ve set the simH to an 11/40 you can attach it to tq0 before booting. It
will
boot a standalone system so the tape is no longer needed after the boot. I was
unable to successfully boot the tape in less than 256KB so make sure you have
sufficient memory enabled.
John.
At the ?>?
prompt type ?run bru?
At the ?BRU>? prompt type ?/init dl0: dl1:? and it will perform
the copy.
If you copied the
baseline system, you should be able to boot
the newly created RL02.
I have named the blank RL02 rlRSX11M.dsk
Almost there!
