	V6 predates the RL02 by enough time that I doubt V6 has RL0? support
	unless someone managed to graft it on after ~1979 (by which time V7
	was out).

	V7 _initially_ did *not* have RL02 support.  When we got our first V7
	tape in 1979 a RL02 driver was written locally in ~79 or 80.  So 
	unless someone added the RL0? support to V7 and submitted the updated
	images to the archives it's doubtful RL devices can be used with V7.

	2.9BSD came with the necessary drivers because that system came a couple
	years later than V7 and the folks at UCB had had time to write the
	drivers and boot support.

	Quite right.  The 'swaplo' global must agree with the partition table
	wired into the driver or the system will end up swapping over top of
	the root filesystem.  *ick* ;)
