  Before reformatting be *sure* you have a tape kernel on the floppy,
that you have the tape device on the floppy, that you have /bin/mkdir on
the floppy, etc. Run restor with the option to display a table of
contents and be sure that after booting from the floppy you can read the
tape with restor.

  Give you half a guess why I'm telling you to do these things ;-)

I don't have a manual here, hopefully someone else will give you that info.
