The desire was to do a build of the VAX world for my 1.4T tree, which is well before cross-build support went in (even before the switch to ELF), on non-VAX hardware. I'm mentioning it here in case anyone else would find it useful, either as-is or as a starting point. Unlike emulators like simh, this one draws the simulator/simulated boundary at the userland/kernel divide. It emulates things userland does; when userland does a syscall, it implements the syscall itself rather than emulating a VAX implementation of the syscall. (Loosely put, you could call it WINE for 1.4T NetBSD/vax, though AIUI WINE pushes the emulator/emulated divide even farther out, to the library-routine API level.) It has some issues, perhaps most notably that there's a lot of protection stuff it doesn't implement - it basically assumes all userland processes are running as root. But that was enough for my purposes. There are also a bunch of userland-usable instructions it doesn't i</pre> Mouse 2013-03-24T23:53:32 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.netbsd.ports.vax/6656 <pre>I'm currently have 16MB of Memory in the VS3100 M76, that are some big double sided Modules, have four of them.

Regards, Holm </pre> Holm Tiffe 2013-03-22T18:25:24 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.netbsd.ports.vax/6654 <pre>I just went through some fiddling around with simh, since it recently started implementing 86x0 emulation. Of course I wanted to test all my code that I've done for NetBSD on this simulation, to see what happens, I failed. And the reason is that installboot is broken. installboot does not use the data from the primary boot block that it is given, for data in block 0. Instead installboot creates its own block 0 content. This works on the MicroVAXen, because of how VMB on those machine work. It does not work an older VAXen, because VMB acts in a different way. Block 0 of the primary bootstrap is correct, but block 0 as done by installboot is not. In the past, disklabel was used to write the boot block, and disklabel didn't try to be clever. We need to go back to this solution again. Does anyone feel like fixing, or should I go and try figuring out exactly which parts of block 0 to pick from disk and from primary bootstrap to merge, to actually get a correct block 0?

The CPU seems a bit faster than my Amiga 3000 with WarpEngine 40MHz 68040) and it has the benefit that it can do a complete build without failing, while my Amiga has some intermittent RAM or bus corruption that causes random GCC build failures every few days (especially frustrating when it takes 4-5 hours for an incremental build to proceed to the point where the previous build crashed). The SCSI controller is slower than the Amiga (it appears to be limited to 6.25MB/s transfers) and the Ethernet seems a bit slower as well, but the VS4000 is quite solid. I'd like to upgrade my build to use GCC 4.5.x, since the VAX is the only platform remaining on GCC 4.1.3. The first step would be to get a cross-build working, and then I believe gmp, mpfr, and/or mpc still need to be ported for a native build to work. The generated code seems to be almost identical, at least when the same CFLAGS are used, but I had to patch share/mk/bsd.sys.mk to add "-Wno-uni</pre> Jake Hamby 2013-03-06T19:58:09 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.netbsd.ports.vax/6638 <pre>Hi, I wish I could say I had the time to check this out in detail myself, but if anyone would like to look into why a NetBSD 6 VAX can be paniced from compiling, try to compile parallel/openmp or devel/sparsehash from pkgsrc and see why it's panicing.

I converted the vax 6610 from three phase to single phase around ten years ago, it worked fine on single phase power. Now I plugged it in, turned the key and after a short audible pop nothing happened. Turning the key just results in a relay clicking, no fans, nothing, so I assume I must be something in the very beginning of the power distribution that made the pop noise. When I did the 3p-1p conversion, all I had were some descriptions, I did some sanity checks and rewired the box. Now I would like to have some schematics or at least block diagrams since there are quite a few enclosures inside the vax itself and I don't have a clue what they should be doing. There's nothing on bitsavers, does someone here have documentation for the vax6000 series? Or a pointer to some information?

I tried the same thing with older NetBSD installs and had to go back to 3.1.1 to get one that would detect the ethernet device. Anyone have similar problems with the VS4000/60.
