Hello folks,

Help! I tried to install Ultrix 4.5 on Simh v3.5-2 emulator but I was told
that disk image was corrupted each attempt. I tried different device type
like RA81, RA90, RD54, etc but all resulted the same as corrupted. When I
exit emulator, I listed a directory and noticed that first 16MB disk image
was created before it complaint corruption. I did followed instructions for
Simh emulator by made modifies on install.1 script file ('btd' to ra2 on 173
and rz* to ra* on 193).

I tried install OpenVMS and it worked fine without any problems.

Does anyone have install Ultrix 4.5 on Simh successfully?

Thanks!
Tim

Well, never mind. I finally found a problem because I assigned CD image to
wrong disk unit. I tried assign it to dua3 and it worked fine now. I
successfully installed Ultrix 4.5 on Simh 3.5-2 now. I am figuring how to
shut system down. When I executed 'shutdown now', it did but remain on #
prompt forever...

Thanks.
Tim

shouldn't that be "shutdown -h now" ?

Where did you get your Ultrix 4.5 software?
