How did you do this, do you have the tape images? I have a pre-installed disk image for
4.6 but my NETGEN failed on it due to lack of file nodes and it needs migrating to a new
disk with more nodes.
I ve gotten RSX startup automated on PI power up thanks to a HECnet list discussion from
a month or so ago.
Could you point me to the relevant archived mail conversation? I'm trying to do this
myself with VAX and PDP-11 emulations :)
I d like to automate the startup of DECnet as well, so it all comes to life whenever
power is applied.
What s the hot setup for automating this? I never had DECnet back in the day when I
was managing 11s, so I never got to look into the best way to go about this.
Your bootstrap startup file is STARTUP.CMD - I think if you tack the command(s) (which I
have forgotten, damned addled brain) in at a late but relevant position in that file
it'll fire off when you bootstrap RSX-11M+. I used to have one of my previous RSX-11M+
4.2 emulations setup this way.
