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.
