Background:

I was running 2.2.1-STABLE and had a disk crash on my boot disk.  Put in a
new disk, did a fresh install on that disk to cinfigure it, then restored
the contents of the original to it.  However, now when Iattempt a file
system dump I get the following error:

  DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Sun Jun 22 05:00:00 1997
  DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch
  DUMP: Dumping /dev/rwd0a (/) to /dev/nrst0
  DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
  DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories]
  DUMP: estimated 33365 tape blocks on 0.01 tape(s).
  DUMP: dumping (Pass III) [directories]
  DUMP: write error 64 blocks into volume 1
  DUMP: fopen on /dev/tty fails: Device not configured
  DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted.

Additionally, at the same time, /var/log/messages gets hit with the
following (the tape drive is SCSI, hooked to an Adaptec 2940UW):

Jun 21 05:02:05 prozac /kernel: sd0(ahc0:1:0): UNIT ATTENTION asc:29,0

etc...

The system config is as follows:

- Tyan dual PPro motherboard with a single PPro 200
- Adaptec 2940UW
- Boot disk: 4 gig Maxtor IDE
- A pair of Seagate ST32550W 2.1 gig Baraccudas as the second and third
  disks.
- 96 meg RAM
- Number 9 Imagine 128 4 meg video card/  
- 3Com 3c509B-TP ethernet card


I was intending to move to 2.2.2 but I don't feel comfortable doing a make
world without backing the system up.  

Thanks in abundance,
