How can I dump multiple filesystems on one tape. restore has a -s option to "Read
from the specified fileno on a multi-file tape." [restore(8)], but I cannot
see the equivivalence of this on dump.

I tried

for i in $FILESYSTEMSTOBACKUP
do
        dump -$1u -c -f - $i
done ) | dd bs=1m of=/dev/rst0

and it works, but I cannot restore anything but the first dump on the resulting
tape.
