Howdy folks,
I dug up an extra RZ25 disk for my vaxstation 4000/60 a few months ago
and so I decided to install OpenVMS 7.3 via the hobbyist program (I'm
running NetBSD on the other RZ25, currently disconnected). All my
licenses and software have arrived, and I've successfully completed a
basic installation of OpenVMS 7.3 via the serial console. I should
note that I'm very new to OpenVMS.
I ran in trouble when I tried to configure tcpip 5.1. I've been
following the tcpip portion of
http://www.wherry.com/gadgets/retrocomputing/vax-simh.html even though
it's for a simh installation -- it seemed relatively close if I
mentally translated device names. In any case, I was able to manually
configure my tcpip core and enable a few clients and services using
@sys$manager:tcpip$config. When I attempt to start the tcpip service I
get the message "error defining interface: se0". I get the same
message when rebooting (I've enabled tcpip startup in the local
startup file).
The ESA0 interface (as the >>> dagger prompt calls it in the sho dev
output) worked fine under NetBSD. I have the little switch flipped
over to AUI, and I'm using an AUI->RJ45 transceiver to connect it to
my switch. The transceiver link light goes green, which is a good
sign.
My modparams.dat contains:
ADD_GBLPAGES=10000
ADD_GBLSECTIONS=100
ADD_NPAGEDYN=800000
ADD_NPAGEVIR=800000
MIN_SPTREQ=6000
Am I missing anything obvious? Failing anything obvious, is there
someone that wouldn't mind giving me some assistance off-group, say
via email or IRC or the like?
