Thanks for the notes Tim. In mkfs, I'm creating the free list, the inodes
and inode list, and the rootdir, along with adding entries to a dir. Next
up, adding files to the image. It will probably be testable in a few days.

I gave up and
decided to write mkfs from scratch :-)
I did a little more research on the disks, and added my notes
to the machine.txt file. Included below. Looks like we should
be able to craft a tape image with a list of files and use the
cold boot mechanism to initialize the rf0 disk (which has to be
the root fs). We may still want an mkfs for initializing an
rf03 later.
