Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers BMW GT1 DIS - SCO 5.0 and Oracle 7 Root HDD Clone - IBM T30 Post 303032077 by RudiC on Monday 11th of March 2019 02:32:22 AM

I don't know the IBM T30 nor the SW system (SCO / Oracle 7) you have in front of you, but any *nix system allows for booting into "single mode" which is a root terminal session. Early in the boot process it offers a menu option, or a key (combination) must be pressed, to get there.
You could try to boot from another medium, "live" CD, or USB stick.
You could perform a "discectomy" (surgically remove) the HD and connect it as a secondary device to another computer, and do the copy there.

NAME
bootcdflopcp - copy changes made after booting from bootcd to floppy SYNOPSIS
bootcdflopcp [-v] [-d <device>] DESCRIPTION
bootcdflopcp will copy changes made in ram to the floppy disk. bootcdflopcp will be available as soon as your system is running from cd. The floppy has to have a filesystem already. (See mke2fs or mformat). If you have to boot from floppy, because your cd-drive or bios does not support to boot from cd a msdos filesystem is used to run syslinux. When bootcdflopcp is called it searches for differences between RAM and CD. For each different file, it checks if it is listed in the files ignore, remove or change on floppy. If it is listed in change it will be saved to change.tgz on floppy. If it is listed in remove the file will be removed from ram next boot time. If it is listed in ignore it will be ignored. If it is not listed at all you will be interactively asked what to do. OPTIONS
-v The option "-v" (verbose) adds messages on running. -d <device> Use another device instead of "/dev/fd0" to save changes. FILES
FLOPPY:/remove If a file is listed here the file will be deleted from ram next boot time. FLOPPY:/change If a file is listed here bootcdflopcp will save it in change.tgz. FLOPPY:/ignore If a file is listed here bootcdflopcp will ignore changes to this file. FLOPPY:/change.tgz Here all changed files are stored in gzipped tar format. SEE ALSO
