- You were using:
- rdump.old 0fsdu mode:/dev/nrst0 6000 54000 /dev/rsd0a
- have you tried avoiding the NeXT dump / Sun rmt pair, and
- saying something like
- dump.old 0fsdu - 6000 54000 /dev/rsd0a | rsh mode dd bs=??? of=/dev/nrst0

- This should make the sun simply copy bits to tape, rather than place
- any particular religious interpretation on them (:_)). Thus then may
- make the tape readable by a similar incantation involving the NeXT restore.
- If that doesn't work, something bizzare is happening, and you need to try
- dumping to/from a local file...
