At a point during the data transfer I start getting errors. It all goes well until it gets to downloading /sbin/disklabel ---- then I get the following errors: /stand/cpio: invalid header: checksum error atapi0.1: no cmd drq /stand/cpio: warning: skipped 65536 bytes of junk gunzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated DEBUG: switching back to VTY1 /stand/cpio: premature end of file --------------------------------------------------- System: US. Logic PCI Motherboard w/Pentium Processor 120 mhz Primary HD 504 megabytes -- MSDOS only. Secondary HD 2.1 Gigabytes -- FreeBSD partition only. IDE CDROM drive NEC MultiSpin 8V. iomega Ditto tape drive with Ditto interface board. 1.44 meg floppy drive. 32meg ram. ----------------------------------------------------- System runs well under DOS with out errors. I have tried this with DOS partition on the small drive and a 450 meg DOS partition on the large drive. I have also tried a DOS partition on the small drive and FreeBSD partition on the large drive with the same errors resulting in both cases. ----------------------------------------------------- The large drive was setup with the following BSD partitions: / ---- root was 32 meg swap ---- swap was 72 meg /var ---- var was 30 meg /usr ---- usr was about 1800 meg or more. ------------------------------------------------------ I'm sure this is not all of the information that you will need but its all that I could think of at the moment.
