Check, Pete, they should be linked.  I think they create a link to /unix just
to make it easy to identify what rev kernel you've got.  It should work just
fine with only /unix.  On my machine I've got:

-rwxr-xr-x  2 root    root     168521 Sep 30  1987 UNIX3.51.1
-rwxr-xr-x  2 root    root     168521 Sep 30  1987 unix

            ^
            |
            |

(3.51.1 was what I got from the hot-line after reporting the bug in the tty000
driver that would not pass through '\0', preventing getty from switching speeds
on break.)
