I want to prepare a tape for installing FreeBSD at home.

The INSTALL files says I should do something like:

tar cvf /dev/rwt0 (or /dev/rst0) floppies dist1 .. dist2

But what I see in the release area is .../release/bin/bin.?? stuff.

Question: what do I put on the tape? The bin/ directory? Or all the
bin.?? files at the top level? OR do I put the cat'd, gunzip'd, untar'd
file system structire on the tape?

Thanks for any help. Just send an email, as I'm not on the list.

Thanks!!
