Yow.  I've installed it on a 320 before...but never with an OS that 
old...read the install notes, and grab the installation program it 
describes.  See if you can compile it...if so, then I'd think you're 
ok...Basically, what you need to do is get a disklabel and root partition 
onto the target drive, which this program does...

As for tapes...heh...I'm going to buy a 9144 ``soon'' - but, I don't 
think the tape boot blocks work currently...at least, not the last time 
I checked.  I've been meaning to work on them, but I don't have the tape
drive yet...

Later...
