The dd image is actually running in simh - booting and everything.
The
problem is - that due changes of (simulated) hardware and licence
problems or some other problems we haven't thought about yet -
tcpware is not running so we can't communicate with the other host
in the network to transfer files.

Thats why i was hoping to "shortcut" the problem with mounting the
dsk(dd-image) and extract the changed files and transfer them via
ftp client on the ubuntu host.
