I have been given a Sun 4/260 Sparc (the old VME bus crate) with a 150mb
tape drive. What is the proper way to make a boot/install tape(s) for
it, and how should it be booted properly? I did not see any MakeBootTape
or such scripts in the Sparc trees and there were in the Sun3 tree, on
NetBSD-1.3.2. I would expect it to be similar, but probably not exactly
the same. Any pointers are appreciated. I cannot depend upon netbooting
it on the home network, and would prefer a tape boot/install, if possible.
Thanks
