Hi,

We're trying to make copies of two system tapes for an HP 712/100.

One tape is bootable, the other tape has data.  We don't know how the tapes
were created.

We have two tape drives available on the HP.  We tried using the following
dd commands:

dd if=/dev/rmt/omn of=/dev/rmt/1mn bs=2k (for the boot tape)
dd if=/dev/rmt/omn of=/dev/rmt/1mn bs=10k (for the data tape).

The first command actually creates a bootable tape.  However, during the
install process of the new tape, we get error messages stating

                ERROR: Cannot find "config" on the system.
                This command is necessary to build a kernel.
                Usage: mk_kernel [-v] [-o ,<target file>] [-s<system>]
                Note: Could not make an executable kernel.

This ends the install process rendering the system unusable.  Any advise on
making tape copies utilizing the dd (or any) command would be helpful.

S.
