After my Xenix/386 2.3.2 suffered a general panic, the system refuses to boot.
It just stops at the Z prompt. Right after it gives me the list of interrupt
vectors in use.
I would like to copy some data off of the hard disk before reformatting.
I've tried a floppy boot sequence using the N1 disk and interrupting the installation sequence. I've entered 'fsck /dev/root' to no avail.
How do I copy data off of a non-booting hard disk?
