Last night I used Warren Toomey's VTserver to
download the 2.11BSD boot partition to a cold PDP-11/53 that I put together from the
following parts:
-KDJ11-PB CPU board from a DECserver 500 (bought for $10 on eBay)
-Andromeda UDC11 MFM disk controller (like RQDX3?) from my 11/23
-Maxtor XT-2190 hard drive from a MicroVAX (head 13 bad, so only 130 meg)
-DSD StackPac chassis and front panel
No DELQA?
I am not a UNIX expert. I need a place to ask
ignorant* questions,
and get meaningful and prompt answers. Is this the right place?
You may also try
the PUPS mailing list. See
http://minnie.cs.adfa.edu.au/PUPS/
If I tell Kermit (my console) to switch to 7 bits even
parity, I can
read stuff again. [...] I grepped for "stty" in / and /etc but didn't
find anything useful looking.
Uhh. I can remember that there was a mail on the PUPS
mailing list with
a patch to change the console to 8n1. Have a look at the archive...
I still can boot RT-11 from the floppy, but when I try
to boot UNIX
from the hard drive it halts. I did "dd if=/mdec/rauboot of=/dev/ra0a
count=1"
Use /dev/rra0a ... See page 6 of 2.11BSD/setup.ps.
I partitioned the hard drive with 4.5 meg at ra0a, 4
meg at ra0b, and
the rest at ra0d.
I recommend a biger a partition. (8 to 12 MB)
I need a way to download the rest of the UNIX tar
files over the
console line.
Use the floppy? Split the tar files, dd them to floppies, dd them
back
on the PDP11 and do somthing like "cat x* | tar xpf -" on the PDP11.
