A recap of my problem: I had a sun 4/260 w/ scsi tape, no external
scsi bus and a crashed disk. I also have a bunch of sparcs w/ tape drives
and cd-rom. I didn't have a sun4 boot tape. The question was
"how do I build a sun4 boot tape"?
The answer seems to be "you can't, unless you're sun." I played
with a number of things on the cd rom, and even started to set up
one of my sparcs as a boot server before I threw in the towel and
borrowed a sun4 boot tape from a nameless friend.. :-)
