Tim, I think it depends on what was on the root partition. If it was the = Day0 Foxboro CDROM data, you do not have enough data in the root to use = this AW as a host. Lots of files in /etc /rem just to name a couple off the top of my = head. The hidden files (.cshrc .........) I would not trust the drive to perform as you expect from an AW. I think you are on the correct path with your REM 'ing of code in the = restore script.

However, to get it to restore and reboot without the "cannot mount root" error I had to restore everything EXCEPT the root directory. I did this by REM'ing out all lines in the QF #991274D restore script that had to do with root directory file system creation and restore. =20 Any ideas from this point? What consequences will I have by not restoring root from the old system? I know that the HOST file is located in the root somewhere. Is there anything else that is critical? Any ideas as to what is being restored when I do restore the root directory that is causing my problems? =20 Thanks for all of your help on this! =20 Best Regards, =20 Tim Rarden Process Control Engineer SMART PAPERS HOLDINGS LLC "You're Brilliant.
