Installing 4.3 BSD RENO on SIMH
From Computer History Wiki
Requirements
You will need the following materials to put together a 4.3 BSD RENO installation:
- A working perl interpeter to make the tape images.
- A copy of gzip.
- A method of extracting the boot file from either the binaries (tar/gzip) or uudecode to extract it from here.
- A compiled binary of vax780 from SIMH, along with the vmb.exe again from SIMH.
You will need the following files from any 4 BSD archive from the 4.3BSD-Reno directory. I have used the files from archive.huihoo.org. You can use whatever method you like to download them, wget, a web browser etc..
