## Notes on oskit: 2.11BSD system on RL02 volumes
### General remarks
See notes in [w11a_os_guide.md](../../../doc/w11a_os_guide.md) on
1. I/O emulation setup
2. FPGA Board setup
3. Rlink and Backend Server setup
4. Legal terms
For history see [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md).
### Installation
A disk set is available from
http://www.retro11.de/data/oc_w11/oskits/211bsd_rlset.tgz
Download, unpack and copy the disk images (*.dsk), e.g.
```bash
cd $RETROBASE/tools/oskit/211bsd_rl/
wget http://www.retro11.de/data/oc_w11/oskits/211bsd_rlset.tgz
tar -xzf 211bsd_rlset.tgz
```
### Usage
- Start backend server and boot system
(see section Rlink in [w11a_os_guide.md](../../../doc/w11a_os_guide.md))
```
boot script: 211bsd_rl_boot.tcl
example: ti_w11 <opt> @211bsd_rl_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 rl(0,0,0) at 0174400
: {<CR>}
: rl(0,0,0)unix
Boot: bootdev=03400 bootcsr=0174400

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

2.11 BSD UNIX (w11a) (console)
login:
```
The login prompt is sometimes mangled with 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
40/208 inodes
11/150 processes
6/ 46 texts active, 31 used
2/135 swapmap entries, 420 kB used, 2139 kB free, 2133 kB max
34/150 coremap entries, 2906 kB free, 2818 kB max
1/ 10 ub_map entries, 10 free, 10 max
# {mount}
/dev/rl0a on /
/dev/rl1h 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: 003400 R5: 147510 SP: 147466 PC: 000014
```
will be visible. Now the server process can be stopped with `^D`.
### Provisos
- **minimal** system !! Maybe useful as recovery system.
- was useful at a time when w11a had only RK11 and RL11 type disk support
- /tmp stays on '/'
- /home is not mounted
- suitable for a 'root' user, other accounts not supported
