The correct method for booting any kernel from a tape is to add a
colon (:) to the start of the kernel name. The colon tells the
bootloader that it must read the kernel from the LIF at the start of
the media. Without the colon, the bootloader attempts other methods
to read the kernel, but it does not attempt to install it from a LIF.
The above errors are the result of the bootloader attempting to read
the kernel from an HFS file system, which on a tape is not possible.
Older releases of the bootloader prepended a colon (:) to the
VINSTALL kernel name. The bootloader for 11i v1 does not allow for
this behavior. In this case, the correct boot string would be:
bo 4/2/0.1.0 :VINSTALL
Not:
bo 4/2/0.1.0 VINSTALL
For machines other than the V-class, always use :INSTALL to represent
the installation kernel when manually booting from tape or an
installation CD. The bootloader automatically changes it to
:WINSTALL on systems that require a 64-bit kernel for installation.

Q: How do I include all volume/disk groups into a recovery tape?
A: To include all volume and disk groups on the system into a recovery
tape (can be used with make_net_recovery as well) use the following
command:
# make_tape_recovery -A -x inc_cross=/
The make_tape_recovery manual page defines inc_cross as follows:
-x inc_cross=file|dir
Includes the file or directory in the recovery archive and
crosses mount points to access any directories that are
mounted or files contained in directories that are mounted.
