 Here's the problem:

 I performed a level 0 dump using the following command:

	% dump 0o /dev/sd2a

 This dumped the contents of the drive to two NeXT optical disks.
 However when doing a restore via:

	% restore rjvf /dev/od1a

 It will read and restore the first disk fine but then won't eject
 the first disk when it needs the second. It keeps reporting that the
 disk in the wrong one.  HELP!!  How do I get my data off of the second
 disk?? I've tried all sort of permutations of the restore command and
 all of them fail when the program says it's ejecting the first disk
 and waiting for the second but never actually ejected the first disk.

 This problem is with a NeXTCube '040 running NeXTStep 3.0.

 Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 Mike

 I figured out the problem. Doind a restore with the command:

% restore rjvf /dev/rod1a    

 will work and eject the disk, whereas the command:

% restore rjvf /dev/od1a

 will not eject the disk...
