Installation

A disk set is available from http://www.retro11.de/data/oc_w11/oskits/211bsd_rkset.tgz

Download, unpack and copy the disk images (*.dsk), e.g.

    cd $RETROBASE/tools/oskit/211bsd_rk/
    wget http://www.retro11.de/data/oc_w11/oskits/211bsd_rkset.tgz
    tar -xzf 211bsd_rkset.tgz

Usage

• Start backend server and boot system (see section Rlink in w11a_os_guide.md)

       boot script:  211bsd_rk_boot.tcl
       example:      ti_w11 <opt> @211bsd_rk_boot.tcl
                     where <opt> is the proper option set for the board.
  

• Hit <ENTER> in the xterm window to connnect to backend server. The boot dialog in the console xterm window will look like (required input is in {..}, with {<CR>} denoting a carriage return:

       70Boot from rk(0,0,0) at 0177404
       : {<CR>}
       : rk(0,0,0)unix
       Boot: bootdev=03000 bootcsr=0177404

  In first '#' prompt the system is in single-user mode. Just enter a ^D to continue the system startup to multi-user mode:

       #^D
       checking quotas: done.

  The login prompt is sometimes mangled with the 'Device not configured' system messages, if its not visible just hit <ENTER> to get a fresh one.

       login: {root}
       erase, kill ^U, intr ^C
  

  Now the system is in multi-user mode, daemons runnng. You can explore the system, e.g. with a pstat -T or a mount command. The second xterm can be activated too, it will connect to a second emulated DL11. At the end is important to shutdown properly with a halt:

       # {pstat -T}
         7/186 files
        39/208 inodes
        11/150 processes
         6/ 46 texts active,  28 used
         2/135 swapmap entries,  366 kB used, 2069 kB free, 2063 kB max
        33/150 coremap entries, 2960 kB free, 2867 kB max
         1/ 10  ub_map entries,   10    free,   10    max
       # {mount}
       /dev/rk0h on /
       /dev/rk2h on /tmp
       /dev/rk3h on /bin
       /dev/rk4h on /usr
       # {halt}
       syncing disks... done
       halting
  

  While the system was running the server process display the

       cpu0> 
  

  prompt. When the w11 has halted after 211bsd shutdown a message like

       CPU down attention
       Processor registers and status:
         PS: 030350 cm,pm=k,u s,p,t=0,7,0 NZVC=1000  rust: 01 HALTed

           R4: 003000  R5: 147510  SP: 147466  PC: 000014
  

  will be visible. Now the server process can be stopped with ^D.
