NAME
ldsysdump - Loads system dump from floppy diskettes
SYNOPSIS
/etc/ldsysdump destination_file
DESCRIPTION
The ldsysdump command loads the memory image files from the floppy
diskettes used to take a system dump and recombines them into a single
file on the hard disk suitable for use by crash. The destination_file
file is the name of the hard disk file into which the data from the
diskettes will be loaded.
When invoked, ldsysdump begins an interactive procedure that prompts the
user to insert the diskettes to be loaded. The user has the option of
quitting the session at any time. This allows only the portion of the
system image needed to be dumped.
EXAMPLES
The following example loads the three floppy diskettes, produced with the
sysdump command, onto a machine equipped with 2 megabytes of memory.
$ ldsysdump /usr/tmp/cdump
Insert first sysdump floppy.
Enter 'c' to continue, 'q' to quit: c
