I want to attempt to install OpenVMS 7.2 via MOP over
the network, to do this I
need to get the files off the CD since I don't actually have another VAX to read
the CD on. (I'm using a Linux host running mopd... I was able to install
NetBSD that way)
Anyone know how I could read the data off the CD under Linux or *BSD ?
Is there ODS-2 filesystem support for Linux? I think there might be, and
that's what you would need to be able to read the CD. Take a look at the
DECnet/Linux project, if there is ODS-2 support, they should have a link to
it.
Another alternative might be to get SIMH running on the Linux box, install
VMS on that, and then use SIMH (which includes network support) to get
OpenVMS installed on the VAX. I've no idea if this would work, and if you
get it working I'm sure others would be interested in knowing how you did
it.

I'll look into this. I plan to write it all up in a HOWTO somewhere if I get
it all working since I've now spent days searching google, etc to no avail.
Thanks, I'll keep everyone updated.

That will read an ODS-2 CD under Linux (and possibly other UNIX varients?)...
Movin full steam ahead..
