Hi List,
Here is a question for all you lucky souls that have installed the
installation sets successfully and have seen this question and figured out
the proper answer.
>From the miniroot:
Install from (f)tp, (t)ape, (c)d-rom, (n)fs or local (d)isk? t(my answer)
system responds:
The installation program needs to know which tape device to use. Make sure
you use a "no rewind on close" device. (whats that no rewind on close about?)
name of tape device [] st0 (my answer)
system responds:
/dev/st0 does not exit or is not a character special file.
aborting.
extract more sets?
Well the /dev/st0 does exit since I used it to get this far and the
installation tape is in the drive.
