[pups] missing space in 2.11_rp_unknown

Howdy -

	An emualtor of course would use an emulated tape image ;)   That's
	how I typically install.   There are instructions and sources to
	the program to create the 'virtual tape' from the dump and tar files.

	I keep forgetting that not everyone has a SCSI<->Qbus adaptor :)

	(it was _expensive_ at the time but gosh, after 10 years the initial
	 $ pain is long long gone and I've gotten a lot of use out of it)

	Yes, screwing up 'init' is, to put it mildly, catastrophic.   During
	the development and testing of that set of updates I did render my
	system unbootable.   Thankfully I had a spare OS installed on the
	SCSI Zip drive - I just booted from "DU 1" and put back a working
	'init' (turns out that a 100MB Zip disk can contain a *full* 2.11BSD
	system - not a lot of space left, but it includes all sources and
	will boot).

	That's fantastic to hear!

	Yes and No.  YES - it is generated by running './config' in /sys/conf.
	NO - it's an integral part of the OS as distributed.

	You really didn't want to do that ;)

	The Make* files for custom kernels will (100% guaranteed) diverge
	from the defaults.   That's expected.   The GENERIC kernel is a special
	case though.  When changes are made to the Make* files (overlay sizes
	change for example) the patches will not attempt to find and "fix"
	any locally created kernels - but the guarantee has always been that
	the GENERIC kernel _will_ build, thus the patches presume that the
	/sys/GENERIC directory hasn't been removed.   Indeed the kernel patches
	usually suggest rebuilding GENERIC.

	It is a Good Idea (saved my system a couple times) to keep a known
	good working _non_networking kernel (i.e. GENERIC) in /genunix.   That
	way if you are tinkering around (or a bad patch ends up in /unix) you
	have something to boot.   Many is the time (during development, testing
	of course) that I've had to rely on a /genunix to get the system
	back alive.

	Glad to hear you're current and are not seeing 'df' weirdness.   You
	may want to upgrade P11 to 2.9 though - that would, I think, have 
	fixed that problem before you saw it ;)

	Cheers,
