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
