AFAIK only alpha has cdhdtape, so I will ID it for the crossposted
readers...it's a bootable sysinst image that can be written (with dd(1) or
equivalent) to either CD, hard drive, or tape (or 2.8 MB floppy, probably);
i.e., the same thing that's on the two-floppy sysinst disk used by alpha
and i386.
