[FreeVMS] Problems running FreeVMS

[Zoltan Arpadffy]

I tried to use FreeVMS earlier but it failed with the pager.sys.
I see that this bug is fixed in 2013 and I gave a new try.

Downloaded the git repository. Configured the kernel and built all without
any problem.

The make image failed because it expected files from a different
directories.

Here is my implementation

image: build/freevms/vmskernel.sys \

                build/freevms/pager.sys \

                build/freevms/init.exe

        mkdir -p ../mnt/boot/

        cp -f build/pal/x86-kernel ../mnt/boot/

        cp -f build/kernel/util/kickstart/kickstart ../mnt/boot/

        cp -f build/kernel/build/lib/* ../mnt/boot

        cp -f build/kernel/build/lib64/* ../mnt/boot

        cp -f build/freevms/vmskernel.sys ../mnt/boot

        cp -f build/freevms/pager.sys ../mnt/boot

        cp -f build/freevms/init.exe ../mnt/boot

...that at least move the files - but I guess, here is the problem.

Because when I start the image I get the following error:

"Please chose the different link base" - the screenshot was attached, but
the maillist did not accept. Here comes the OCR output.

I wonder what I am doing wrong?

I am very curios to see FreeVMS in action. If anybody has a working image
to share it would be also highly appreciated.


Thanks you for the help.
