I'm running HP-UX 6.5 on a 350.

I'd like to use the dump (1M) program, which seems to
work only for raw device files.  The root file system,
however, has no raw device file (/dev/rdsk/0s0) associated 
with it. 

Can I create /dev/rdsk/0s0 with the mknod command?
Can I convince /etc/dump to use the block file? 

Is there any hope?


tnx,
Scott Seligman
