I think rcp is part of the root install. It was for
4.3 on the vax
anyway. I could swear I did this for 2.11 also but I have used scsi.
I will check.
Basically all you need to do is bring up the interface
with
ifconfig and then rcp the tar file
Where am I rcp'ing it from? The 11 is not connected to a network
at least not yet. The linux box is standalone too.
Slightly more detail- make sure the ethernet is at a
'standard' >address; if it is the kernel will find it when it probes at boot

I believe it is set for the standard addresses.
Create the file system on the partition you want and
mount it(this >may take a little study. Presuably you've got "/" created

Yes, I have "/". I believe "/usr" exists too, but is mostly empty or
is completely empty.
Rcp the tar file to the mounted partition. This might

I will look into this. Thanks.
