Operating Systems SCO Overwritten /dev/root -recovery of SCO OpenServer 5.0.4 Post 302182964 by ok2 on Tuesday 8th of April 2008 01:48:37 AM

Overwritten /dev/root -recovery of SCO OpenServer 5.0.4

Due to my own stupidity I managed to overwrite my /dev/root device using dd (don't ask).

Current state is
- Have current backup created using cpio (command used was 'find . -mount -depth -print|cpio -ocB > $TAPE')

- Once I realised what was happening powered off the server but this was too late

- Have a set of boot floppies and have booted off them

- Have mounted /dev/hd0root and run fsck so it is "fixed"

- It is pretty empty (no surprise) but does have unix and unix.old, /etc only has default in it

- The emergency floppies are old and /dev/Stp0 doesn't point to the tape drive we use for backup (DAT)

What I need to work out is how to restore /dev/root from the backup.

Thanks in advance.
