The problem seems to be that /dev/wd0 after booting from the network is actually /dev/wd0c. Check you device numbers. /dev/wd0 should be (0, 65538) while /dev/wd0c is (0, 2). The high bits in device numbers are not handled correctly by tar (only 18 bits work) or cpio with the default format (only 16 bits work). High bits are silently ignored in 2.0.5 (-current prints a warning and skips the file). New cpio formats work. Bruce
