Error Jumpstart process canīt find tape device
Hi to all,

Iīm recovering a Solaris box trough jumpstart with restore of a flash archive on tape. The tape device is recognized by OBP in probe-scsi-all and by the operating system that is instaled on that box where i want to restore flar as /dev/rmt/2. But when a i boot with " (0) ok boot net - install " the jumpstart process canīt find that device (/dev/rmt/2) where i have the flar to restore. I have already try with /dev/rmt/0 and 1, and have the same error, "canīt find path..." . Any ideas?

Thanks in advance. Regards.

tcopy

tcopy(1)							   User Commands							  tcopy(1)

NAME

       tcopy - copy a magnetic tape

SYNOPSIS

       tcopy source [destination]

DESCRIPTION

       The  tcopy  utility copies the magnetic tape mounted on the tape drive specified by the source argument. The only assumption made about the
       contents of a tape is that there are two tape marks at the end.

       When only a source drive is specified, tcopy scans the tape, and displays information about the sizes of records and tape files. If a  des-
       tination  is  specified,  tcopy makes a copies the source tape onto the destination tape, with blocking preserved. As it copies, tcopy pro-
       duces the same output as it does when only scanning a tape.

       The tcopy utility requires the use of Berkeley-compatible device names. For example,

	 example% tcopy /dev/rmt/1b /dev/rmt/2b
