You should be able to do this with 'sysadm', or perhaps mkboot,
though I've always dd'd the original, and then mucked with the
files on it.

Now, how to I make a bootable CTC tape?  I've put a filesystem on
a tape, but I can't seem to find a boot programme, nor exactly how
(where) to put it on the tape.  I admit it was quit late, but TFM
didn't help either.  The other options seem to be to reload the 6
essentials, plus the CTC driver, then restore; or build a boot
floppy with a kernel that includes the CTC driver.
