A note to all 2.11bsd users:
Some time ago I looked into running 2.11bsd on systems without
floating point unit. The release notes state that this is untested
and unsupported, and indeed it didn't work.
Robin Birch some time ago fixed part of the issues, see patch 434,
but still the kernel paniced when the very first program was started.
I managed to localize and fix the problem in sys/pdp/mch_fpsim.s.
Steven Schultz right away issued 2.11BSD patch #445. All patches
up to and including 445 are provided by Steven under
ftp://sg-1.ims.ideas.gd-ais.com/pub/2.11BSD
Anyone have a current working link for the 2.11BSD patch archive? The
link above doesn't seem to work.
http://moe.2bsd.com/ refers to ftp://ftp.cato.gd-ais.com/pub/2.11BSD
which doesn't work.
