Advancing tape on maintenance os

I am using the following script for AdvFS backups on our Digital UNIX
3.2c machine:

mt rew
echo Starting full backup .....on /dev/nrmt0h....../
vdump -0 -u -f /dev/nrmt0h /
vdump -0 -u -f /dev/nrmt0h /usr

I needed to restore the system while booted off of CD. During restore I
discovered that the "mt" command is not part of the Maintenance OS. I
tried restoring the / non-rewinding, then /usr. However, the system
complained about not having enough free memory during the second restore.

How do I advance the tape to restore the second vdump?
