Creating an emergency boot floppy for ftape
-------------------------------------------

1) When recompiling kernel, check RAMDISK option in.

2) Copy tar (or cpio or whatever backup program) onto your
   root floppy boot disk.  mt might be needed also.  
   Make sure your ftape device (typically /dev/nrft0) 
   is present on your boot floppy.

3) cd /dir.src

4) $tar -cf /dev/ftape linux (to archive)

5) $mt -f /dev/nrft0 eof (to mark End Of File)
   When you make multiple backups into one tape,
   this will mark the ending and starting point.

6) When emergency happens, boot up with emergency disk.

7) Copy tar from floppy to hard disk.

8) Floppy must be loaded into RAMDISK as ftpae and floppy
   can't mount at the same time.

9) $mount -av

10) $tar -xf /dev/ftape (to unarchive)

11) $tar -df /dev/ftape (to detect the difference between
                         two directories)
