I just "dd"ed mine to an ISO file. No problems there. If you have some
ftp site that I can upload it to, I can send you my .iso later tonight.
Thanks, that would be quite helpful. Can you sftp? If so, I'll send you a login you
can use.
If my math is right, aa:00:04:00:11:08 works out to 2.17 (and that's the
right address).
It does look like Charon-AXP changed the hardware address of the interface correctly,
then.
# The trailing zone network interface
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet manual
pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth1 hw ether aa:00:04:00:d5:08
I'll give that a try next. Question - is "auto eth1" the right thing to
do? That makes the interface start up when the boot does an "ifup -a",
right? I didn't do that (I figured Charon would start it when it got around
to it).
I'm far from an expert on Linux network interfaces. It doesn't seem to harm
anything, and I do want the interface to be up for the emulated system.
Since Charon-AXP is expecting to have dedicated access to the interface, it may do a lot
more configuration and management of the interface than I expect. I've been using this
setup with SIMH VAX and PDP-11, and something similar for Panda (TOPS-20), so it's
just a matter of course for me when I'm setting up an emulated system (that uses
DECnet, anyway).
