Thanks to all who responded: Regis Carlier, Simon Millard and Dominic
Christopher.
Dominic Christopher suggested to use the flag "nc" like that:
>>> boot -fl "nc" mka500
and it worked fine.
So it is definitely possible to boot from tape on an alpha 1000/250 with
firmware 3.1-2 (!), if the tape is created on a Tru64 4.0g using btcreate.
Another question however remains - the btextract process stops since
there are no usable partitions (esp. swap) defined (i just set up the
raw raid device). Obviously, I would have to create domains and fsets
before booting from the tape and btextracting; but I dont think that
this is possible from srm :o) .
So I guess I will boot from the installation cd, create the domains and
partitions and then again do a btextract.
Thank you all again
