NFS-mounting something from outside? SIMH allows arbitrarily sized disks. Don't use "set rq0 ra92", but "set rq0 rauser=20000" to get about 20GB. > - The NetBSD SIMH HOWTO > (http://www.netbsd.org/ports/vax/emulator-howto.html) refers to > load the ka655.bin eprom image, but upstream SIMH "only" contains > the hacked version (ka655x.bin), which supports more RAM.

Maximum amount of RAM can be get with "set cpu 512m".
