Subject: [NetBSD-0.9] Fixit Disk for SCSI tape & dump(1) - want it?

After receiving requests for a fixit disk for NetBSD-0.9, I'd like to make
it available. I have FSP available from this machine, but it's a little
tricky to explain. Would anyone like to help us all out by putting this disk
up for FTP at a site with a permanent ip address? If you know of any
places where I could put this disk (and put new revisions, etc), then please
mail me.
If I get this disk up on a site, I'll followup to this article.
This disk will work for restoring a hard and soft partitioning scheme,
as well as for restoring a file system from a dump(1) format archive
on a SCSI tape (/dev/{e,}{n,}rst[0-7]). I've tested it on /dev/nrst0
with an AHA-1542B controller. Of course, you may want to copy your own
kernel and disktab onto it.
I was planning on posting the disk in two formats; a raw disk image
(of the 1.44MB floppy), and a ".tar.gz" file. Comments/suggestions?
