INSTALLATION DEC OSF/1 X2.0-8 (Rev. 155) for MIPS July, 1992 How to create DEC OSF/1 X2.0-8 installtion tapes: 1. Insert your first tape in your tape drive 2. Locate you OSF/1 distribution directory and enter directory "BL8_0Install" 3. Run command "sh write_tape.sh". This script will assume your SCSI tape drive is "/dev/nrmt0h", so you will have to modify the script if you want to use another tape device. 4. Label this tape "DEC OSF/1 V2.0 Boot Volume". You will have to wait for the copying to finish befo- re removing the tape from the tape drive. 5. Repeat step 1 to 3 but choose your next tapes and run the scripts from all the subdirectories. When all this is ready you will have four installation tapes. Note! If you are not interested in the DEC OSF/1's realtime OS system components, you can skip the last tape. 6. Label the second tape: "DEC OSF/1 V2.0 Operating System Software Volume 1" 7. Label the third tape: "DEC OSF/1 V2.0 Operating System Software Volume 2" 8. Label the fourth tape: "DEC OSF/1 V2.0 Realtime Options"
