Sun got around to documenting this trick in the "Sun386i Administrator's &
Developer's Notes" (Part 814-3018-01) sent out with the 4.0.1 release.
See the section called "Loading Clusters Manually" ... p.21

The procedure will be something like this (executed from bohr):

  rsh agricola mt -f /dev/nrst8 rew
  rsh agricola mt -f /dev/nrst8 fsf xxx
  rsh agricola dd if=/dev/nrst8 ibs=32k obs=20b | tar xvpBbf 20 -

where 'xxx' above is the position of the appropriate cluster on the tape.
The cluster positions for the 4.0.1 release tapes are as follows:

Application OS:

  extended_commands	5
  spellcheck		6
  doc_prep		7
  networking_plus	8
  comm			9
  name_server		10
  accounting		11
  disk_quotas		12
  audit			13
  advanced_admin	14
  mail_plus		15
  old_commands		16
  plot			17
  sysV_commands		18
  man_pages		19
  games			20

Developer's Toolkit:

  base_devel		2
  sysV_devel		3
  proflibs		4
  plot_devel		5
  sccs			6
  sunview_devel		7
  help_guide		8
  dos_net_toolkit	9
  config		10
