I've got a sparc 5 that just died...  When I try to boot it, I get the
normal startup banners and after it spits out the copyright line, I get

	Short read Ox2000 chars read
	Disk read error
	WARNING: cannont open system file: /etc/system

Then repeated 18 or 20 times (rp is different each time), 

	BAD TRAP: type=9 rp=f0241ff4 addr=c mmu_fsr=326 rw=1
	:Data fault

and finally

	WATCHDOG RESET

I'm assuming that my system disk is dead, but just in case there's some
'magic command' that'll let me get the system back up long enough to do a
backup, I thought I'd ask...

Thanks!
Bruce
