I'm having some trouble trying to build sys3.tap

also tried another script (the original mkdisttap.pl from 2.11BSD), but
none of these perl scripts seem to work for me. Am I doing something
wrong here?
It looks like the same thing I am doing, but...
[~/sys3]# ls
boot cpio.tape mini-root mksys3tap.pl* script
[~/sys3]# ./mksys3tap.pl > sys3.tap
[~/sys3]# ls -l sys3.tap

We don't seem to have the same sizes...

If I replace
add_file("boot", 512);
with
add_file("/dev/null", 512);
I get 3076812, so I suspect that your "boot" file is empty.
