Oh, there's no problem. It's often a good idea to ask in comp.sys.dec
or comp.unix.ultrix too as you might still find some of the old DEC
folks there.

Do you have any other Ultrix box up and running?

Of course there is. The problem is that I can only tell you
how to boot the client from an Ultrix boot server:
/etc/ris      # for installation
/etc/dms      # for diskless clients

Check the manpages for ris and dms on Ultrix for more info.

No, sorry. The kernel is configured differently for a boot tape.
