I'm trying to install BSD 4.3 on SIMH, following these instructions:
http://gunkies.org/wiki/Installing_4.3_BSD_on_SIMH
I've got the 43.tap, boot42, and install.ini files set up per the
instructions, but when I try to run SIMH, it only gets as far as printing
the section sizes (I guess?), but doesn't ever output the "start 0x12f8" or
anything subsequent. I've tried with both SIMH 3.8-0 and 3.8-1, on Linux
on an x86_64. Has anyone else had success with this?
The output I get mostly but not completely matches what's shown on the web
page:
VAX780 simulator V3.8-0
RQ: creating new file
loading ra(0,0)boot
Boot
: ra(0,0)vmunix

I've discovered that my terminal window had gotten into some weird state
where any process requesting input was blocking output, so I didn't get
some of the SIMH output, or some output from other programs. So after
resetting the terminal window and trying again, I get:
VAX780 simulator V3.8-1

It seems to consistently crash in that same place.
Wait, hold the phone...
Building SIMH myself instead of using the package from the Fedora
repository results in it working. Sigh.
