One other note... the maketape scripts need to be handled a little
differently on boxes like 4/260's running Sunos 4.1.3.  The script
does not allow gzip to flush buffers when piping through dd.  What
happens is the last bit does not get written to tape.  When it tries
to boot that, the tape loads an incomplete kernel, and it aborts to
prom.

My fix was to ungzip all the tape bits on the boot tape, FIRST, and
then redo the script so that it wrote the ungzipped files to tape.
That works.
