Try:

	restor Rf /dev/rctminiv /dev/hd0root

Assuming of course that it is the normal /dev/root hard disk partition as
per a normal SCO installation.

Remember to make the bootable root floppy *after* you have totally
configured your system to use the cartridge tape, mkdev fd will copy the
appropriate /dev's over and will take a copy of your /xenix so the bootable
floppy will be able to restore from the tape.
