Using SIMH vax and NetBSD-5.1.2



Hello!
With this new faster system I decided that I could go ahead and try
again with running NetBSD via SIMH-vax and indeed I managed to launch
the CD in the install mode.

However there is one specific stumbling block. In this case its the CD
itself, despite having been booted that way the installer claims that
the mount string:
"
   Status: Command failed
    Command: /sbin/mount -rt cd9660 /dev/cd0a /mnt2
     Hit enter to continue
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mount_cd9660: /dev/cd0a on /mnt2: Device not configured
"
is not working. That is the command is shown there. Otherwise the
instructions that Lars Brinkhoff created work well enough with this
release (of SimH). Otherwise I also find that I would need to tell the
installer what the networking method is for the Ethernet widget is so
that I could also fetch the sets from the NetBSD site and its mirrors
to make a network based install also work.

Suggestions please gentlemen.
