Install Slackware from (SCSI) Tape?

Hello everybody,

Is is possible to install Slackware from tape?
I have a 150Mb SCSI tape drive connected to a Adapect 1542C. Running
Slackware 1.1.2 I can read and write the tape (even read a tape written
on a Sun running SunOs 4.1.3).
Do I need a special boot floppy, or what?

Thanks in advance,

---Hans.
