OK. I remembered that I needed to recompile the kernel, so in addition 
to the above:

in v7:
chdir /usr/sys/conf
cc mkconf.c
mv a.out mkconf

echo rk >> myconf
cat myconf
hp
root hp 0
swap hp 1
swplo 0
nswap 8778
tm
4dc
rk

mkconf < myconf
console at 60
clock at 100
clock at 104
parity at 114
rk at 220
tm at 224
hp at 254
dc at 300
dc at 310
dc at 320
dc at 330
as - -o l.o l.s
cc -c c.c
ld -o unix -X -i l.o mch.o c.o ../sys/LIB1 ../dev/LIB2
mv unix /munix

rebooted and:
dd if=/dev/rrk0 of=ucbtar bs=1
read: Bad address
0+0 records in
0+0 records out
