Hi,
I attempted to make a bootable tape by using dd to put first miniroot.fs 
and then root.cpio onto a TK-50.  At this stage, I just wanted to test 
and see if it would actually boot, etc., before I decide to blow away my 
hard disk.

Anyway, I did everything per the instructions, but it won't boot from the 
tape.  Is there something special I need to do to the tape to make it 
bootable, or should writing miniroot.fs to the beginning of the tape be 
enough?

thanks for any help,
Jonathan
