No, but the tape and card reader images are different. Here you have put a
tape image into a card reader, which is why it did not work.

Yes. It looks like you may need to drop to a shell and run dasdfmt by hand
to get it to see the disk; the syntax is:
dasdfmt -f /dev/dasd/XXXX/device -b 4096
After which you can return to the installer and proceed. A 300-cylinder
3390 is enough for the installation; I just tried it.
