       NAME
             ldsysdump - load system dump from floppy diskettes or
             cartridge tape

       SYNOPSIS
             /usr/sbin/ldsysdump destination_file

       DESCRIPTION
             The ldsysdump command loads the memory image files from the
             floppy diskettes or cartridge tape 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 executed, ldsysdump begins an interactive procedure that
             prompts the user to insert the diskettes or tape 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.

       USAGE
          Errors
             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.

       NOTICES
             The file size limit must be set large enough to hold the dump.
