Reply to Steve's question: Do you have a good tape??? How do you know
the backup is good?
I have tried three different backup tapes (different dates, same
machine) with the same result from all three.

Subject: Re: [foxboro] Restoring AW51B to larger drive
All,
I have done everything suggested so far in responses below to no avail.
I am still getting the "Panic: VFS_mountroot: cannot mount root" error
cycling over and over again as it tries to reboot. I will summarize:
1. We are using version 6.1 Day 0 cd
2. We have a DDS3 tape backup unit using 4mm tapes (backup to a single
tape)
3. We are using QF #991274D tape restore script (on floppy)
4. System is booting fine after Day 0 install.
5. I have tried all of the suggestions so far.
6. Have REM'd out lines in the restore script that have to do with file
system creation and it did not like that at all!
7. Have REM'd out the lines in the restore script which I believe set
up the boot table or sequence. This did not help either.
There is something in the tape restore script which is causing a problem
with restoring the backup to a larger drive with different partition
sizes. Again, the system works fine when just running IA_INSTALL from
the 6.1 DAY 0 cdrom. System boots just fine until I restore from tape.
Again, any help would be appreciated! Also, thanks for the help so far!
Best Regards,

After you do a day 0 with the cdrom and the box boots OK
stop A, boot cdrom, restore.
When restoring the tape and you are asked if the tapes were created
using dmp0_8mm, answer Y. when it call for the first tape, use your
tape. When it asks for the second tape leave the tape in the drive and
press enter.
When it asks for the third tape do a ctrl C.
reboot -- -r
