There are no utilities available on the 800 for making the equivalent tape
that you can make with mkrs on the 300.

I don't quite know which recovery tapes the previous replier refers too, but
we do sell install tapes for each release of the OS as it comes out.  This
is bootable, but I don't think it addresses your need.  I assume you wish
to repair a bad kernel without re-installing your entire system.  However,
you are always free to re-install from scratch, then recover from your 
backups.

There is another alternative.  The HP field support team has a bootable 
support tape.  It's intended use is for repairing systems.  This is available
with HP support.  The tape is not a product.  For information on this, please
contact the HP sales office nearest you.

If you have more questions along these lines, I'd be happy to see if I can
answer them.
