	    DEC OSF/1 SILVER Baselevel 4 (Rev. 36) for MIPS 


			  January, 1992

	
	
	How to create DEC OSF/1 SILVER installtion tapes:
	
	
	 1. Insert your first tape in your tape drive

	 2. Locate you OSF/1 distribution directory and enter
	    directory "Silver0Boot"
	   
	 3. Run command "sh write_tape.sh".  This script will 
	    assume your SCSI tape drive is "/dev/nrmt0h",  so
	    you will have to modify the script if you want to
	    use another tape device.
	   
	 4. Label this tape "DEC OSF/1 MIPS Boot Volume". You
	    will have to wait for the copying to finish befo-
	    re removing the tape from the tape drive.
	
	 5. Repeat step 1 to 3 but choose your next tapes and
	    run the scripts from all the subdirectories. When
	    all this is ready you will have four installation
	    tapes.
	   
	 Note!   If you are not interested in the DEC OSF/1's
	 real-time OS system components you can skip the last
	 tape.   

	 6. Label the second tape:
	
	  "DEC OSF/1 V1.0 Operating System Software Volume 1"

	 7. Label the third tape:
	
	  "DEC OSF/1 V1.0 Operating System Software Volume 2"
	   
	 8. Label the fourth tape:
	
	  "DEC OSF/1 V1.0 Realtime Options"
