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.
