I'm setting up a VM that runs SIMH-VAX in a Gentoo VM and keep getting   
the following error message:

	Error opening device.

The relevant part of my bridge.conf reads as follows:

[bridge]
local eth0
sampsa   silverback.sampsa.com


Any ideas?

If I remember correctly, you must tell it a port number for any remote bridge
or it will consider "silverback.sampsa.com" and such as a local device, which
obviously does not exist. Try appending ":4711" or whatever at the end of the
second line :)
