This is a distribution tape for the 4.4BSD-Alpha release. The package you received should have contained one 2400', 6250 BPI, 9-track magnetic tapes or one Exabyte 8mm cassette. Both distribution tapes contain three files, however, the second and third files on the 9-track distribution format are compressed (see compress(1)). The three files are as follows:
The binaries and kernel on the tape support the Hewlett-Packard 9000/300 68000-based workstations, as detailed on the next page. The dump does not contain a kernel, however, a compiled, generic kernel is part of the third file, in ``/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC.hp300/vmunix''. The tar format archives can be extracted into the current directory with a command such as: tar xpf /dev/tapename
or, for the 9-track distribution format, with a command such as: dd if=/dev/tapename bs=bsize | uncompress | tar xf -
where bsize is the blocksize as follows:
| file 1 file2 file3 |
| Domestic 9-track 1024 20480 20480 |
| Domestic 8mm 1024 10240 10240 |
| Foreign 9-track 10240 10240 10240 |
| Foreign 8mm 10240 10240 10240 |
