Ok, just a little confused in the restore "-D" option....

lets say  /dev/sda1 = /boot

mtab / fstab not available on rescue disk.

dump of /dev/sda1...

Dumping /dev/sda1 (unlisted file system) to /dev/nst0 on host adm380
Label: /boot

Soooo....

Would I try  "-D /boot" ?

Still confused how it would match
/boot to /dev/sda1 ?
or is it just because I know that setting
the counter "-s 1" is /dev/sda1
ie. -D /boot .... -s 1

Thanks,
