File system dump and restoration

[William Davidsen]

There are two ways to dump/restore a root filesystem. The right way is
to make a bootable floppy (mkdev fd) and execute the restore program
after booting from floppy. You can format, badtrk, etc, by hand or use
N1 to do it.

The klunky way is to use N1 to make a partial install, boot the hard
disk and then restore your cpio (must be cpio) with the 'u'
(unconditional) option. Then reboot!!

I have been doing this on Xenix since 2.1.2, and have had no trouble.
