I'm trying to install Sun 3/160 to 4.1.1
When attempting to boot off the Dist tape I get a peculiar error:

--- > b st()
--- Boot:st(0,0,0)
--- st: error 96A0
--- >

It is my understanding that to boot off 4.1.1 

--- > b st()                   is all that is required.

Hardware Info:

--- Sun 3/160 with 1 internal tape drive( target 0 ).
--- The Tapes are in Qic 24 format.  I can dd the 4.1.1 tapes out to
    Disk using "dd if=/dev/rst8 of=/fname". 
--- The Drive itself is Qic 11.  

    Should I be able to boot off these tapes or do I need to find another
    solution?   


Thanks Again For Everyone's Help!!
