Ok this is going to be a bit long... Sorry in advance. But if you skip down
to the bottom, you'll see I got 4.2 in multiuser!
I still am pretty fuzzy for a way to create .tap files, so what I settled on
is to ftp them to a Quasijarus box I have running & write them out to
'virtual tape'. I tried to follow the 'format' guide, however I have issues
doing the copy & boot. ( I used
http://www.tribug.org/pub/tuhs/4BSD/Distributions/4.2BSD/Per_Andersson/ )
On the Quasijarus computer, I then just simply dd'd the files onto a virtual
tk50 (does it matter?)
I used the following commands:
dd of=/dev/rmt12 bs=20b conv=sync if=tape1-file2
dd of=/dev/rmt12 bs=20b conv=sync if=tape1-file3
dd of=/dev/rmt12 bs=20b conv=sync if=tape1-file4
dd of=/dev/rmt12 bs=20b conv=sync if=tape1-file5
dd of=/dev/rmt12 bs=20b conv=sync if=tape1-file6
eject the 'tape'
dd of=/dev/rmt12 bs=20b conv=sync if=tape2-file1
dd of=/dev/rmt12 bs=20b conv=sync if=tape2-file2
dd of=/dev/rmt12 bs=20b conv=sync if=tape2-file3
Now you have the 2 4.2BSD tapes that I have. On the host pc side we are
going to need to get the bootloader out of the syssrc.tar (
srcsys/floppy/boot ). Just tar -xvf it somewhere and copy the boot program
to boot42 . Now copy the tape1-file3 as miniroot and we should be good to
go!
Now for my 2 ini files, here is boot42.ini:
----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<
set rq0 ra81
at rq0 miniroot
set rq1 ra81
at rq1 rq.dsk
set rq1 dis
set rq2 dis
set rq3 dis
set rp dis
set lpt dis
set rl dis
set tq dis
set tu dis
att ts 42-1.tap
set tti 7b
set tto 7b
load -o boot42 0
d r10 9
d r11 0
run 2
----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<
And finally the boot42-2.ini
----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<
set rq0 ra81
att rq0 rq.dsk
set rq1 dis
set rq2 dis
set rq3 dis
set rp dis
set lpt dis
set rl dis
set tq dis
set tu dis
att ts 42-1.tap
set tti 7b
set tto 7b
load -o boot42 0
d r10 9
d r11 0
run 2
----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<
Here is what I have in my 'working directory'
-rw-r--r-- 1 user user 32670652 Jan 31 20:57 42-1.tap
-rw-r--r-- 1 user user 19296 Jan 31 09:43 boot42

Alright now we have used the miniroot to load the dump image onto the virgin
ra1 disk. I still don't know why the copy program seems to fail, but
booting off of the miniroot works fine too. Now we just need to format the
rest of the disk & restore /usr . Im switching to the boot42-2.ini now.

Once more again, thanks to Scott Taylor who pointed out how to boot the 780
with the stand programs rather than fighting with the media issues. If
anyone can point me in a better direction in creating .tap images, Id
greatly appreciate it!
Special thanks to Bob Supnik for simh & the people from Berkley & AT&T that
made BSD!
