| - In other cases, you are restoring vdumps from a non-local system. In this case, you're getting the hardware database that came from those vdumps (the database files are in /etc). In this situation, you have literally no idea what the disk number will be. The best strategy is to boot the system into single user mode, then observe whatever disk name the root disk came up with. Then, if possible, run **bcheckrc** from your single-user session, and fix your links in /etc/fdmns to point to the new disk name. If that fails then do the same process after booting optical media or a different hard disk drive. Once you know the disk name the system is going to pick, it's just a matter of fixing /etc/fdmns sub-directories and updating their symlinks. | - In other cases, you are restoring vdumps from a non-local system.
