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