In the emulated world they are now an AlphaVM-Free instance and a SIMH instance, both running on an HP DL380 Gen 5 with 6 x GB network adapters. Each of the emulated instances is mapped to a different physical network card.</div><div><br></div><div>When I attempt to boot the emulated VAX from its' network adapter I get the following console messages. Boot appears to proceed but it is glacial. In the past I've given up long before ever receiving a login prompt on the VAX instance.</div><div><br></div><div>Does anyone have experience with this kind of issue? It doesn't look like the emulated Alpha network adapter on the AlphaVM instance thinks that it is experiencing errors based on the output below.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,
