Aucbvax.5394 net.2bsd-bugs utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!dist2 Sun Dec 6 02:55:34 1981 FIX: to kernel/mdec/rlboot.s In contrast with the other boot programs, this one did not properly determine whether the program being booted had a header which it should skip. This change fixes that problem:

diff kernel/mdec/rlboot.s.old kernel/mdec/rlboot.s 35,37c35,37 cmp (r0),$407 > bne 1f > mov $20,r0

It should be applied to all tapes written before 11/3/81. Be sure to strip the resultant object file AND remove its header before installing it in your boot block. Otherwise it will be too large to fit in 512 bytes.
