Before trying anything look at the scripts 5*44906Sbostic 6*44906Sbostic buildmini 7*44906Sbostic get 8*44906Sbostic maketape 9*44906Sbostic 10*44906SbosticTo construct a tape suitable for bootstrapping a system 11*44906Sbosticfirst find a spare file system for a ``mini root'' and 12*44906Sbosticpatch the buildmini shell script to reflect its location. 13*44906SbosticSecond, decide where your ``distribution'' source is located 14*44906Sbosticand patch the get and maketape scripts. Then do the following: 15*44906Sbostic % buildmini 16*44906Sbostic % maketape [ 6250 | 1600 [ tapename [ remotetapemachine ] ] ] 17*44906SbosticThis builds a distribution on one tape at 6250bpi, two tapes at 1600bpi. 18*44906SbosticThe tape drive may be on a remote machine if the last optional arg is given. 19*44906SbosticFor 1600bpi, be sure and check whether /usr/src will fit on one tape. 20*44906SbosticThe current distribution is about 80+ megabytes and easily fits on one tape 21*44906Sbosticat 6250bpi with a blocking factor of 20. 22
