Hi Chuck,
You have to boot the last tape (labeled standalone backup I believe),
or any fairly recent standalone backup program will work. I have a
5.x I can send you if your tape is bad.

VMS on my MicroVAX II. The tape loads in the TK50 just fine, but after typing
B MUA0:
It reads and reads and reads ...
Now I know TK50's are _really_ slow to boot (NetBSD takes about 5 minutes)
but is this the only thing going on? There isn't some boot flag I need to
give the tape to insure that it does the right thing is there? I keep
expecting to see the standalone backup prompt and I keep right on waiting....
