I watched a video clip on YouTube about installing OpenVMS on x86_64. I
followed instructions from that. It did not work well.  He did not show how
to set bridge br0 for kvm.

It crashed during booting. I got two error messages said unable determine
serial number in HWPB block and bug check message said that high IPL during
pagefault exception.  I think that I got wrong UEFI firmware from
/usr/share/qemu. Does anyone have good UEFI firmware?

I tried to configure br0 but I got error said that they can't find bridge
file (-net bridge,br0).  Does anyone have configuration info for setting
br0 device on Ubuntu 22.10?

I successfully installed OpenVMS on virtual box under windows 11. It
recognized 82450EM and assigned EIA0 to that. However it can't access the
Internet so that I can't upload layered products into.  Does anyone have
any good network configuration for VirtualBox 7.x?
