Any chance to run tftp in single user mode on Tru64 V4,0f?
Mayby a stupid question, but I have a system without tape drive where I need to restore the /usr file system.
Does anybody know how to run a "tftp" in single user mode on Tru64 4.0f?
Thanks!

Re: Any chance to run tftp in single user mode on Tru64 V4,0f?
I can't remember ever trying to run any of the network stuff in
single-user mode, so I know nothing, but I'd probably be looking for a
way to connect an external SCSI disk drive before I tried to use TFTP to
move a whole "/usr" from somewhere to somewhere else.

It's possible to start networking in single-user mode, but you need /usr available to do it. If you're restoring /usr, you've got a chicken-and-egg problem here, so you'll need to find some other method to make the backup available.

I swapped the internal CD player with a TLZ10 tape drive
I have replaced the internal CD player by a spare TLA10 internal drive.
So I was able to restore the /usr and /var file systems on another file domain.
This was the most easy way to create a new chicken not having the initial egg...
But I had to remove all the cables, remove the system from its enclosure, and open the system box to swap the CD player with the tape drive.
When I would have had the possibility to run TFTP from a (live) CD this intervention would have been much simpler.

We non-psychics never knew anything about your hardware, making it
tough to offer specific advice on that topic.

Perhaps, but you asked about "single user mode", not about booting
from a CD. V4.0f is so old that I've never used it, and I'm not close
enough to my Tru64 system to try anything, but it's possible that a
Tru64 installation CD might let you do more than normal single user mode
would.
