NAME
     ldsysdump - load system dump from floppy diskettes

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/sbin/ldsysdump destination_file

DESCRIPTION
     The ldsysdump command loads the memory image files from  the
     floppy  diskettes  used to take a system dump and recombines
     them into a single file on the hard disk suitable for use by
     the  crash command.  The destination_file is the name of the
     hard disk file into which the data from the  diskettes  will
     be loaded.

     When invoked, ldsysdump begins an interactive procedure that
     prompts  the user to insert the diskettes to be loaded.  The
     user has the option of quitting the  session  at  any  time.
     This  allows  only the portion of the system image needed to
     be dumped.

EXAMPLES
     This example loads the three floppies produced via the  sys-
     dump command on a machine equipped with 2 MB of memory.

          $ldsysdump /var/tmp/cdump

          Insert first sysdump floppy.
          Enter 'c' to continue, 'q' to quit: c

DIAGNOSTICS
     If a floppy diskette is inserted out of sequence  a  message
     is  printed.   The  user  is allowed to insert a new one and
     continue the session.

NOTES
     Since the 3B2 computer can be equipped with up to  4  MB  of
     memory,  the  destination_file  can become quite large.  The
     file size limit must be set large enough to hold a  file  of
     this size.
