How do I get this to run?!

Right now, make sure you have the VAX-11/780 emulator from SIMH 3.8-0 or higher, then go to http://zazie.tom-yam.or.jp/starunix/ for more information.

Not very much.... 4 BSD does not provide any modern networking, and the C compiler is far from ANSI. Also keep in mind that 4 BSD does *NOT* include any TCP/IP networking...
