If you backed up your /var/conf data, and need to restore it, there is a special procedure to ensure that your configuration is restored properly. Follow these steps to get your configuration back:
  1. Move all files in the /var/conf directory to a temporary backup directory.
  2. Restore /var/conf from your backup into the now empty /var/conf directory. The method of restoring will vary depending on whether you backed up to tape or to a floppy.
  3. Make sure you are logged in as root at the command line.
  4. Type:
    find /var/conf/sdb -type f -exec touch {} \;
  5. Next, type:
    parse pmake commit
