Any MPE boot tape (that is, anything you can boot off of that isn't
UNIX-based like a diagnostic tape) is an SLT or System Load Tape.  All
SLTs are generated by SYSGEN, and all tapes created by SYSGEN are SLTs.

The SLT tape shipped to you by HP as part of an OS update is generic
and contains no information specific to *your* particular system.  All
of these tapes are identical (for a given release).

The process of installing an OS update loads the SLT tape contents onto
the system, then loads SUBSYS products from another tape (that *is*
customized for your particular system) which may make changes to (i.e.
install modules into) files that came off of the SLT tape.  Later in
the process a new SLT tape is created.  This SLT tape contains the core
operating system files (with SUBSYS product components installed) along
with the I/O configuration of your system.  This tape is referred to as
the Customized System Load Tape or CSLT.  It's still an SLT tape though.
