3 BSD/VM
3bsd.png
Logging into a 3 BSD/VM system
Type: Multitasking, multiuser
Creator: CSRG
Architecture: VAX, theoretically portable
This Version: 3.0 (1979)
Date Released: 1979


3.0 BSD was 32v with a better virtual memory system, that went from 32'v swapping , to a paged system. Additionally all of the BSD tools from 2.9 BSD on the PDP-11 were ported over, including vi. I've poorly transcribed the setup documentation here Setting up the Third Berkeley Software Tape.


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.

What Runs?

Not very much.... 3 BSD does not provide any modern networking, and the C compiler is far from ANSI. The DZ11 emulation in SIMH is not working.
