4.2BSD

Without making install tape image, dump, tar files could be read as raw disk device image.
Kernel in miniroot detects only 2 RQ disks, so assign rootdump, usr.tar as HK disk devices.
  42bsd-inst.simh,   42bsd-run.simh
RQ0->miniroot
RQ1->rq.dsk (install target disk)
HK0->rootdump
HK0->usr.tar
  % gunzip 4.2BSD/*.gz
  % tar xvf 4.2BSD/usr.tar mdec/bootra
