Thanks VBE for the quick reply . The issue is there is no way to get to command line during the startup or shutdown process. To startup all you do is power the IBM T30 laptop with all interface connected and it goes thru the SCO and Oracle 7 startup and the BMW GT1 menu appears. To shutdown all you do is once you end all diagnostic back to Main menu , you enter Ctrl+Alt+F1 and type "shut" at the logon promot. It then goes thru the shutdown process and powers off the T30.
Is there a way to safely interrupt the startup and go into single user mode and do a DD command. There is no time the system even goes to command line .
