DISCUTIL is a standalone utility that lets you perform
various disk operations without the operating system. It is particularly
important when you need to move files to tape from disks on a system that is
logically inoperable, such as one with directory damage. (Once you have done
so, you then use the RECOVER option of the VOLUTIL utility on
this tape to move the files back onto disk.)
You start the utility by entering DISCUTIL at the Initial System Load
(ISL) prompt from the system console. (You may not use
DISCUTIL at another terminal.) Once DISCUTIL is loaded and
running, the operating system is not available.
