I should know the answer to this, but I cant find the neuron with the info.
An hour on the web left me just as neuronless.
I wanted to boot up my rl02 Version 7 unix on one of my "currently with power" systems.
I cant get it to boot on a 34/73/83/84 then I stopped.
On my 94 I get
@boot
New Boot, known devices are hp ht rk rl rp tm vt
: rl(0,0)rl2unix
not a directory
I dont hear a head moving before the error, but the boot program must have got to the rl02 controller - it looks like the secondary boot is not getting data from the disk.
----
*same disk* in an 11/73
Starting system from DL0
@boot
New Boot, known devices are hp ht rk rl rp tm vt
: rl(0,0)rl2unix
mem = 448192
ka6 = 2225
aps = 141704
pc = 1332 ps = 340
trap type 0
That program counter looks terribly small - I have not examined the memory about that location.
----
There are random notes on the web about it being
a processor
b memory
c Q bus 22 (that is why I tried the 84/94 set up)
d something else
So that did not move me forward.
-----
Subsequently I have tried out simh and get the same errors (as expected), do I need to delve in the assembler to to try to identify the problem. or can some kind soul tell me not to waste my time since it is e.g. a Q bus issue?
I dont have an 11/45 to run the system on, what else might I build from the "more modern" bits I have?
Any clues.
