remove volume from AdvFS domain

I rebooted a DEC 3000 Model 800S AXP with 4.0f pk#7 and one of the
disks gave a hard error. I am pretty sure that it is gone. I have
an advfs domain main up of volumes rz2g (~1GB), rz3c (4.1GB) and rz8c
(an old RZ58 which I guess is ~1.3GGB) and it is the rz58 which is
apparently dead. This advfs domain contains the filesets usr, var,
users and local mounted as /usr, /var, /users0 and /usr/local. I
can boot to single-user.

My question is, is there some way from the single-user level to
reconstruct the domain so that it only uses the two good volumes, rz2g
and rz3c and then somehow restore at least /var, /usr and /usr/local
from backup? (I don't know if /users0 will fit, but I don't nned it.)
What happens if I just rm /etc/fdmns/cpa/rz8c, edit /etc/fstab to
mount only /var and /usr and reboot? Will I then be able to restore?

TIA,
Peter Stern
