Can I build a boot disk for Ultrix?  I do not have the Ultrix media, and
I'm baffled at how I could recover if my primary disk failed - I would
probably replace the system!  I'm interested in moving to a supported OS
like FreeBSD, but again, if my primary disk fails at this point, how could
I recover to a point where I could load such an OS?

I know other people must be facing similar straits as Ultrix begins
to fade into obscurity.  Does anyone have ideas and suggestions?

I will summarize responses and synthesize ideas as best I can.
