Linux/VAX runs on QBus machines? Dos it at last run?
If I read the status reports correctly, it "partially boots" on
several of the QBus VAXen.
OpenBSD has "stolen" a lot of the NetBSD VAX
stuff and may run
on a MVII.
I may not have ever given OpenBSD a fair shake, but I've been less
than impressed with it on x86 and Alpha. Seems in general to be more of
a cult than a separate OS.
I would sugest to go to http://www.tuhs.org/ and get
some old
4.3BSD-Tahoe stuff. This is straight, plain, good, old BSD UNIX.
This will run fine on a MVII.
Now, THAT is what I wanted to hear.
What about the Ultrix-32M that's archived there? The images are all
DX50 floppy. Does anyone know if these can be stacked to a bootable
TK50 tape? I've seen a lot of passing mentions of Ultrix-32 on MVII.
More info? Opinions?
