I have recently been given the task of getting 2.9BSD running on a
PDP-11/84 with a dhu-11.  The person who was assigned to this task was
reassigned to another project and is not available for assistance.  We
acquired a driver, a Q-bus version, undefined the Q-bus specific code,
changed the dtab file in /etc and changed the probe routine in
autoconfig.  When we boot the system, we get the message "Serious
Configuration error" when autoconfig completes.  When taken to
multi-user mode, terminals connected to the dhu do not respond, and
eventually (after 3-4 minutes) we get a "panic: timeout table
overflow".  There are other problems, like ps giving "not enough
memory", but I feel the first priority is getting the dhu11 working
properly.  Can anyone tell me what is going on with this stuff?

Thanks for your help.
