Thanks to Steven and Sindi.

I made a  /work  directory in BL3, then in that directory I duplicated 
(manually. is there a better way?) the directory structure of where I 
wanted files to go.

eg,   

/work/etc
/work/lib/modules/2.2.16/misc
     and so forth

And I copied files,  such as  /etc/rc , 
/usr/local/bin/nfs   and so on to the matching locations  such as 
/work/etc/   ,  /work/usr/local/bin/  and so forth

Having made a  /DOS/work  directory, I then did

cd /work

and then

tar -czv -f /DOS/work/fixbl3.tgz  *

Here is  C:\work\fixbl3

#!/bin/sh
# put this  fixBL3   file in the  C:\work  directory
cd /
pkg /DOS/work/fixbl3.tgz
pkg /DOS/linstuff/mc.tgz
addnods
echo Please reboot


Thanks,
