In article <130043@gore.com> jacob@gore.com (Jacob Gore) asks if it
is possible to boot off an OD, then restore off another.

Theoretically, yes.  Practically, probably not.  If you are doing 
a full restore, I'd guess something just over 2 quadrillion disk swaps.
I sure don't have the patience for that...
