   restore -x -f /dev/rfd0 filename


If you don't know the exact filename, use

   restore -T -f /dev/rfd0

first.  The set of diskettes constitute a single `backup'-format
archive, so it does no good to know which diskette contains the file
you want.  You always have to start with diskette 1 and feed 'em until
restore finds your file.
