| 2.9 BSD | |
 Logging into a 2.9BSD system | |
| Type: | Multitasking, multiuser |
|---|---|
| Creator: | CSRG |
| Architecture: | PDP-11, theoretically portable |
| This Version: | 2.9 (1983) |
| Date Released: | 1983 |
2.9 BSD is a full UNIX distribution from CSRG. It is an indirect software port of 4.1 BSD; the kernel uses a complicated series of overlays to fit on a PDP-11. Unlike prior versions from BSD for the PDP-11, it does not rely on a prior V6 or V7 system installation.
How do I get this to run?!
Installation is quite slow on SIMH but there is a guide, Installing 2.9 BSD on SIMH. I'll have install tapes, and a pre-made image later.
