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.

Objet=A0: [foxboro] Restoring AW51B to larger drive

All,
Status update on this problem:  I have successfully restored the LARGER
drive with backup tape from the original system.  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.

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?

Thanks for all of your help on this!
