Hi,
Check this out: http://www.retro-commodore.eu/2019/0...llation-guide/

Can anyone figure out what the disk is for?

Having a quick look in WinUAE, I believe the floppy sticker has typos, and the last command should be like this:

cpio -idmuv </dev/dsk/fd0

It seems to create a file /usr/amiga/bin/tapeinit (dated Dec 21 1990). It didn't do anything in emulator. Tapeinit appears to be a tape blanking utility in unix, perhaps this was an bugfix for early Amix versions?
