[HECnet] SIMH on CentOS 5.6

[Ian McLaughlin]

Hello All,

I'm trying to compile and run SIMH on CentOS 5.6.   I've followed the instructions at  http://www.wherry.com/gadgets/retrocomputing/vax-simh.html but when I try to boot from the CD image, I get:

[root at zork data]# /usr/local/vax/bin/vax  

VAX simulator V3.8-1

Any ideas about what I might be doing wrong?   The CD image file I made directly from the Montagar 7.3 CD.   The vax.ini file is exactly as shown on the instructions page.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
