Hello. 
I'm not really sure if this is the best place to make this question and
if it isn't, I apologize.
Anyway, I built the simh Vax simulator and tried to boot NetBSD 1.6.2 in
it. Problem is that after NetBSD finds the root partition it won't do
anything else.
I'm new to this port, so I'm really stuck, mostly because I know nothing
about it.
I tried simh v3.0-2 and 2.10-4 and none worked.

Here is the output:
$ cat netbsd.boot 
load -r /usr/pkg/share/simh/ka655.bin
at nvr ka655.nvr
set cpu 64m
set rq0 ra92
at rq0 netbsd.dsk
set rq1 cdrom
at rq1 vaxcd.iso
boot cpu
$ simh-vax netbsd.boot

And does nothing more than making my load go up :)
Is this normal ? Is it beacause of NetBSD 1.6.2 ? Will it work ok with
1.5.2 as the emulator howto said ?

Thanks in advance.
