I'd like to do this for the 3B2/400 & 6386 machines since they can't be
booted from the tape device and it's no fun loading the core pack and
tape drivers from floppies just to be able to restore your backup tapes
(and I've had to do that ...).

Can anyone give the exact procedure to make a bootable floppy that has
the tape driver installed (network drivers would be nice too, but that
probably wouldn't fit on the floppy)?
