  • UNIX v4 tape contents include unix_v4.tap (original tape file), bootstrap (first 38400 bytes), disk.rk (RK05 image), unix_v4.tar (extracted filesystem), install.ini, and boot.ini (simh configuration files).
  • The tape is block-based; raw content extraction requires stripping block sizes, but using the tape directly for installation is simpler.
  • Installation involves dumping an RK05 disk image from tape to disk using specific commands in the boot.ini file, followed by loading uboot to start UNIX.
  • After installation, the system can be booted directly from the RK05 disk without the tape, using uboot to load the UNIX kernel.
