- bffcreate first restores all images from the tape to /tmp (default)
- and than does a 'restore -p' to pack them in big files and place these
- files in /usr/sys/inst.images. It's much more easier to use 'dd' to
- copy the files directly from the tape to disk. The only thing you have
- to take care about it the naming. If all images are copied run 'inutoc'
- on the directory were you placed your files this will create the
- table of contents files '.toc'.
