2017-05-25: Major update

The oskit was so far an almost 'out-of-the-box' 211bsb tape distribution kit, updated to version #447 and setup with a kernel including FPSIM. The current revision for a first time brings a system tuned for w11a.

Issues with old oskit (all fixed now)

• swap partition too small for a crash dump of a 4 MB system
• /tmp and /home were on / root file system
• many files were in group 7 and should be in group bin

System changes

• system disk repartitioned

    par  use      size    size   offset  size(kB)  comment
     a   /         50c   20900        0    10450   no tmp needed for fsck!
     b   swap      20c    8360    20900     4180   >3840 kB phys mem
     c   /tmp      25c   10450    29260     5200

  • /etc/ttys: all DZ11 lines set 'off' for now
  • /etc/printcap: default printer now lp0, others removed
• network setup sanitized
  • /etc/netstart: now suitable for usage in a 192.168.2.* subnet

2009-xx-xx: Initial system setup

Setup 211bsd system from tape distribution kit obtained from TUHS.

• get tape distribution kit from UnixArchive/Distributions/UCB/2.11BSD
• get patches from UnixArchive/Distributions/UCB/2.11BSD/Patches
• setup initial system using SimH
  • load tape distribution kit (is version 431)
  • install all patches: 432,...,444
  • FPSIM didn't work. Fixed with patch #445.
  • boot from a RK05 wasn't possible. Fixed with patch #446+447.
• build a kernel with FPSIM enabled (see /sys/conf/RETRONFPNW)
• setup oskits for RP06, RL02 and RK05
