This tape was provided to me (Rick Copeland) for transciption by Mr. Kirk McKusick. The tape is 9 track magnetic media recorded at 6250 bpi. The following markings where observed on the physical reel: Back of tape: 4.3 RENO 6250 VAX 30 JUL 90 Distribution Master Front of tape: 4.3BSD-RENO Vax UNIX System 7/1/90 7 files on tape 1 bootstrap FS, bs=1024 2 mini root, bs=10240 3 root dump, bs=10240 4 /usr 5 /usr/src 6 /usr/src/sys 7 /usr/src/contrib Last 4 are tar, 6250bpi bs=20480 The above is just as I found it on the reel however below is what I found recorded on the actual tape. The only change is in the block size of the first file which is clearly 512 bytes/block. contents are as follows: 1. bootstrap bs=512 records=292 149504 bytes 2. miniroot bs=10240 records=205 2099200 bytes 3. rootfs bs=10240 records=320 32768000 bytes 4. /usr bs=20480 records=2135 43724800 bytes 5. /usr/src bs=20480 records=3427 70184960 bytes 6. /usr/src/sys bs=20480 records=838 17172240 bytes 7. /usr/src/contrib bs=20480 records=738 15114240 bytes File 3 (rootfs) is a dump of the root file system, files 4,5,6 and 7 are tar archives.
