Hey, Tom... I am the luddite fellow that likes to do it the old fashioned
way off tape, if all else fails....

I have a perfectly fine TK50, and a box full of TK50 tapes.

I have not noticed much in the way of any tapeboot stuff recently.
The 1.4.1 has the old drivers.

Question.... what is the best way to roll a proper boot or boot/install
tape for say base/kern/etc/man for emergency use, but from -current?

Normally I keep a spare cloned drive on the shelf, but if that were to
fail for some reason, I might want to fall back to the old fashioned
tape boot.   Also, it might be good to work up a tape boot with the
modern scsi drivers to be current.

Any suggestions or insights on how to properly do that are appreciated.

Thanks

Bob
