3 | The scripts needed to build a boot tape for 4.2 and beyond | |
4 | live here. Before trying anything look at the scripts | |
5 | ||
6 | buildmini | |
7 | get | |
8 | maketape | |

10 | To construct a tape suitable for bootstrapping a system | |
11 | first find a spare file system for a ``mini root'' and | |
12 | patch the buildmini shell script to reflect its location. | |
13 | Second, decide where your ``distribution'' source is located | |
14 | and patch the get and maketape scripts. Then do the following: | |
15 | % buildmini | |
16 | % maketape [ 6250 | 1600 [ tapename [ remotetapemachine ] ] ] | |
17 | This builds a distribution on one tape at 6250bpi, two tapes at 1600bpi. | |
18 | The tape drive may be on a remote machine if the last optional arg is given. | |
19 | For 1600bpi, be sure and check whether /usr/src will fit on one tape. | |
20 | The current distribution is about 80+ megabytes and easily fits on one tape | |
21 | at 6250bpi with a blocking factor of 20. |
