Yes, but you don't have to boot ("UPDATE") from the tape.  Simply
reboot as "START NORECOVERY" (assuming your config group is "CONFIG")
will load the revised I/O configuration.  However, note that it's
always a good idea to generate the SLT tape anyway.

As of 5.5 (maybe earlier?), STORE @[log in to unmask]@ is treated like "STORE /".

However, we do:

   store / - /SYS/PUB/NL - /SYS/PUB/SL - /SYS/MPEXL/DUMPAREA &
        - /TELESUP/DUMPS/@  - /tmp/ ; ; &
       compress; onerr=quit; partialdb; directory; show=long,dates; progress

The "- <filename>" stuff causes the backup to be shortened by many
MBs of data ... data that either comes in from the SLT tape (NL, SL, DUMPAREA)
or that we don't care about (memory dumps, temp files in /tmp/).
