If possible, could I get a copy of this. I am planning on getting a RA81 ina
day or two to help get myself up and started till my massbuss disks are
supported. I have a tk58 tape that was for getting 4.3bsd running. It has
/boot, /copy, and /format. Would these at least help me get it started, if I
could get NetBSD on a tu78 distribution tape like they did for 4.3.
