I should've known better before I rush my reply :-) , what I meant was since
gnu cpio can uncompress those cpio files , so I assumed that it can be
uncompressed booted and re packaged as a single .dsk image (like the unix7
thing) , but since I have no background in pdp11 hardware I am not sure how
can this be done.
cheers.

wouldn't be easier to load it through dsk (I mean download the complete
tar
and make a dsk out of it) .
I'm not clear on what you mean by this. Here is how I was planning to do
the install:
1) Boot from tape
2) Install miniroot on disk
3) Boot from disk
4) Untar rest of installation onto disk from tar tape file
The instructions in usr/src/man/docs/setup (in the tar file) talk about
using cpio and cpio format tape files instead of tar, but all I have is a
tar file.
I have not managed to finish step 3.
