From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: newsham@lava.net (Tim Newsham) Date: Thu, 1 May 2008 18:14:56 -1000 (HST) Subject: [Unix-jun72] cold boot tape Message-ID: I wrote a utility for building a cold boot tape and included it in the tools directory. Its not yet tested so its possible I got the format wrong... its based on my reading of init at the end of u0.s. It seems like the permissions in the s2.tar.gz file from the 1972_stuff reflect the original 1ed permission bits (at least the low order bits do) so this makes restoring the original permissions fairly easy. Unfortunately the tar doesn't preserve the original uids. The included "Readme" does have the original uids, so its possible to recreate the proper uids by hand. If you do so, my mktape utility should write out the proper uid and mode values. The use is straightforward: cd /your/s2/directory /path/to/mktape.py bin/* etc/* and you'll get a "tape" file out. I believe you just need the stuf in bin and etc. The stuff from usr should probably go on the rk03 disk after cold boot. Tim Newsham http://www.thenewsh.com/~newsham/
