Google leads me around and around. I've created VMSware accounts, Broadcom accounts, gawd only knows where account, etc. I still don't have this software to download and run this VMS X86.

KVM is supported, as is Virtualbox

 Installed Virtualbox.
 In the "Virtual machine Name and Operating System" window I entered:
 Name: OpenVMS
Folder: /home/vaxman/Virtualbox VMs
ISO Image: /home/vaxman/OpenVMS/X860923OE.ISO
Type: Other
Version: Other/Unknown
 I get:
 OS type cannnot be determined from the selected ISO, the guest OS will need to be installed manually.
 Now, if only I could find manual installation instructions... :(

Have you read VSI OpenVMS x86-64 V9.2-3 Installation Guide
section 2.3?
Have you found:
