1# @(#)README 8.1 (Berkeley) 06/10/93 2 3The scripts needed to build a boot tape for 4.2 and beyond 4live here. Before trying anything look at the scripts 5 6 buildmini 7 get 8 maketape 9 10To construct a tape suitable for bootstrapping a system 11first find a spare file system for a ``mini root'' and 12patch the buildmini shell script to reflect its location. 13Second, decide where your ``distribution'' source is located 14and patch the get and maketape scripts. Then do the following: 15 % buildmini 16 % maketape [ 6250 | 1600 [ tapename [ remotetapemachine ] ] ] 17This builds a distribution on one tape at 6250bpi, two tapes at 1600bpi. 18The tape drive may be on a remote machine if the last optional arg is given. 19For 1600bpi, be sure and check whether /usr/src will fit on one tape. 20The current distribution is about 80+ megabytes and easily fits on one tape 21at 6250bpi with a blocking factor of 20. 22
