Hello,
The recent dicussion of getting a bootable kernel on tape has lead
me wonder just how this is done. I have a 6250 9-track and a tk50 on
a microvax-II (and an ra81); obviously, 9-track is preferable |- at .
So, can I just "dd" my /vmunix onto a 9-track, and then if
the root filesystem gets clobbered, boot from tape thusly

b mua1

or something?

By the way, we WILL eventually be upgrading to the current version
of ultrix, but until then, I be stuck with v1.2.
