Hi,

Is it possible to restore a local filesystem such as / or /usr
from a remote tape?

I'm assuming that one would need to be in single user mode or
boot from fixit floppy/CD.  So I'm trying to test accessing
the remote tape from both single user mode or fixit with no
luck.  I can get the LAN up, and the two machines can ping
each other.

Things look like they fail when restore trys to run rsh.

Before I guess at modifying the fixit floppy or the script in 
the handbook to try to allow for a remote tape restore, I'd 
like to know what others have done.

Thanks,
MikeC
