Answer:

The installation tape has special scripts after the third file mark.
I unloaded them with tar, ran the proper scripts and everything works
like a charm now.

Someone mentioned using add_services, but that wouldn't work. For some
reason, the script would get to much info off the tape and I would run
out of disk space (200 megs).

thanks to those who responded.
