Hi,

Is there any way to build a boot tape with the kernel,
install-root and distributions on it that will install
using `boot tape' from the OpenProm on Sparc NetBSD
1.4.3?   Basically I need base, etc, kern, misc, text
and not much else.

I have obtained an Old Sun4c (SS1) system which wont
play nicely with my CDROM drive (it's a non-sun one),
so I need to boot off my wonderfully noisy Archive
QIC-150 :))  It's going to be used as an NFS disk
archive for my home network with a string of 6x 2Gig
disks off the SCSI controller.

Thanks,

- Chris.
