We can confirm this behaviour of not being able to install a closed
system from tape with either the OPEN or CLOSED selections.  The
solution is as follows:


	install from tape, specify OPEN the first time minst asks
	you, and say you want to run install++ interactively rather
	than use the apollo-supplied defaults.  When you do run
	install++ interactively (which is not difficult, by the way),
	specify CLOSED when it asks you.

	Once you have a running 10.1 system, pick another node, and
	boot it diskless off of the original node.  Invol its disk,
	and copy on the install tree from the original node, using
	/com/cpt //original/install //newmountednode/install -sacl

	Now run install++ from the ORIGINAL node (not the new node),
	as follows:
	install++ -x -i -l -s //newmountednode //newmountednode
	After configuring, and before saying exit, be sure to turn
	OFF install checking.

Once the install has finished, the new node should have a properly
configured CLOSED system, with an authorized area on it, and with the
O/S hard-linked to the AA to save space.  Now invol the original node,
and do a NETWORK install of the O/S from the new node.  CLOSED mode
works fine for network installs.
