Sorry about this, but my mind is fried and I can't remember where any of this
information is kept.  I want to back up my system.  I have an iomega DITTO 420
tape drive (uses formatted QIC 80 tapes) that is daisy chained in with my 2 
floppys.  The system sees the device on bootup (I think it is ft0).  Now what
I want to do is make a boot floppy with a kernel that will be able to see at
least my hard drives and the tape device, and a backup of my entire system (so
that if it crashes, I can restore everything).  If anyone could spare the time
to help, I would appreciate it very much.  Thanks a million.
