After seeing a warning here about installing 2.3 on a patched 2.2 system
I called DEC Customer Support and heard the same thing.  However, I
remembered looking at the install script on the patch tape and seeing that
it saved the old version 2.2 files.  I was able to move the old files
(named filename.org0) to their original names and rebuild my 2.2 kernel.

I then moved the two other programs (fsck and uerf?) to their original
locations, loaded the patch tape and everything worked fine.  There is
no need to load a backup tape of your original 2.2 system.

Hope that helps!
