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!! Scott A. Surguine : wq
