So, I used SIMH to do an install of a complete OS on an RA81 disk. I would like to move this to a real disk and try it on a real PDP-11. Is there a way to do this using dd on a BSD machine? I tried but it created a non bootable system. Well, actually, it starts to boot but then fails very early in the startup process. I used "dd if=filename of=raw-device bs=1024". Could it be that the block size needs to be something else?
I know that VTServer and PDPGUI can move disk images but it would take a week at 9600 baud and I think very little likelihood of it ever completing successfully. bill
