Re: [foxboro] WP51A Restore problem

Dear all

This hard disk is being recognized by "probe-scsi-all" command on ok =
prompt.
Can it be that the SCSI address on the hard disk is wrongly set. Right =
now
"probe-scsi-all" is giving me the hard disk on Target 3 unit 0. May be =
in
the earlier backup the device was on another SCSI address.

How to change the SCSI target address setting on the hard disk. Also how =
can
I mount the hard disk after boot up from the CDROM. Where I have to look =
at
in the hard disk file where the SCSI setting are like /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s6
