hey all!
i have an 11/83 system that i'm starting to work on, and one of the first things i'm trying to do is to get a working rsx11m+ install in simh. the simulator is configured identically to the real machine. i'm starting with the pidp11 version since i'm still learning rsx11 and it's been a lot easier to work with than building my own system, so i figure starting from there isn't a bad idea.
the main issue i'm currently running into is with netgen- the original system has a simulated delua controller, and the target 11/83 has a delqa. i poked around at cfe and ncp but it seems that i need to rerun netgen in order to actually change which controller is being used. netgen runs successfully, but when i go to shut down the system i always get the following error:
at this point the system will hang indefinitely until i ^E simh. i've tried a few different things, like netgenning with decnet loaded and unloaded, purging and not purging old files, but haven't been able to get it working. appreciate any information you can provide!
update: i tried disabling the executor with `ncp set exe sta off` prior to running netgen and got the following; it allowed the system to shut down, but i'm clearly still doing something wrong.
