Just started playing with simh and for the life of me I can't get the initial boot from an ISO to work properly.
I have booted the iso, no problems there; then it's as if there's no command interpreter loaded to do the initial restore:
>>>b dua2
(BOOT/R5:0 DUA2
2..
-DUA2
1..0..

I'm using simh installed on Fedora 34 but tried on Ubunto too; same result. Tried different iso; same result. Tried a nice new git hub built version as well.
Have tried both "VAX simulator V3.11-0" and "MicroVAX 3900 simulator V4.0-0 Current git commit id: 4b03e149" with same results.
Anyone out there with any ideas?

Showing my age; it's been so long; BACKUP is the only command that works! Was expecting proper command interpreter (like Alpha iso boot!) |

Been a while, but I thought I could boot into a read only VMS on a CD and get a menu or DCL similar to on Alpha / IA64.
I think you may need to set some boot flags though.

The command you need is like
backup dua3:vms073.b/save_set dua0:
but obviously change your device number and save set name.
