  I am wondering if
 a dd image of a working few start blocks on a

 disk from the tape copy, before the miniroot
 went on, as part of the boot/install process? 
This should work.

  Michael, what are your thoughts on setting up
 the disks, reasonably? 
Well, every time I need to do this, I do some history reenactment, as this is
how Quasijarus Project was originally bootstrapped. I first install Ultrix on
the VAX, then write a Tahoe/Quasijarus disk label to the boot disk (by
compiling disklabel under Ultrix), and then do the normal 4.3-QJ0a install, at
which point the standalone system sees the label and is happy.
