OK... It took me awhile but, I finally figured out which "section" ISL
resides on. If I'd only looked at /etc/disktab first, I probably coulda
saved myself a bunch of work :-)
It seems older versions of HPUX use disk section "6" for boot. Once I found
that info, I did:
"dd if=/dev/dsk/c1000d0s6 of=/dev/dsk/c1008d0s6 bs=1024k"
and now everything is working just fine.
Now that I have a complete copy of the system, I can screw around with the
box all I want and not worry about loosing the OS. In the next day or two,
I'll copy all the files to a WINNT box and burn a CD (an adventure unto
itsself). That way, I'll have a "permanent" backup.
Thanks to everyone for the help.
Steve
ISL lives in the LIF volume which is not part of a partition.
You can probably make your exact image if you use the device for the whole
disk rather than backing up by partitions. The whole disk device should
get all the partitions.
A man lif on your 10.20 system should provide some info.
