Please, please HELP ! Does anybody now, how to store one auf the hd[0-3]-partitions of the hdisk0 via VRM-debugger (cpy command) on a tape or Diskette. Our VRM crashed and a couldn't reinstall the VRM (Error C600) because the first bytes on the VRM-Partition include bad values and I'm not sure, if I lose the contents of the 4 partitions [0-3) wenn I change the vrm-values to new values. And NOBODY could tell me the parameters for the cpy/instf-command of the VRM-Debugger to save my partitions or single files on it. Please, if anybody of you has expirence with the VRM, please help (quick !!) many, many thanks in advance and please excuse my english fozzy@edvvie.at -- Fozzy C.

Doing that gives something like cpy device block# device block# number_of_blocks I will give you an example of how to copy hd0 to diskette.... This assumes you 2400 sectors per diskette. cpy iodn 0 4 0 2400 where iodn is the minidisk iodn of hd0. 4 is the iodn of the diskette drive. After copying a diskette's worth of data, change diskettes and enter cpy iodn 2400 4 0 2400 This will copy starting at sector 2400. You may be able to use hd0 as the iodn argument but I can't remember. -- James Moody aesnet:moody@moody.austin.ibm.com Advanced Workstations Division vnet: MOODY at AUSVMQ Austin, Tx zip:3401
