- You can first check/test the archive with "tar -tvf /dev/yourtape".
- Then check the output and verify the full paths to the files on tape.
- if the filepath is /etc/yourfiles you can restore from anywhere, if it is etc/yourfiles (notice, no leading slash) then you should restore from the read-write mounted location of the original root filesystem.
- read-only could mean that you are still sitting in the path where the cdrom is (ofcourse) read-only mounted
