Assume your disk dies. ;-)

I just got an XL1201, and I'm happily stuffing the wisdom of
Docex into my meager brain, but I am worried that my disks
might evaporate of their own accord or due to my stupidity.

In reading the Genera 8.1 Software Installation Guide, I see
that it's possible to put ones life thegether using CD, but
only if one reads "Symbolics Genera 8.foo CD-ROM XL Bootstrap
Tape."  Is this simply a FEP kernel on a SCSI tape file?  Would
a FEP kernel written to a DC600 or DC6150 tape with Linux DD
and read from a Tandberg drive work for disaster recovery, or
can FEP only talk to QIC-100/gammamat?  Assume for this exercise
that your disks have nothing on them.

Yours in confusion,
