I have a new desktop with netbsd 2.0.2 and a portable with freebsd 5.4 (my pet OS but it didn't boot on the compaq evo 510 box; therefore netbsd!). Now, I had dumped my previous old desktop with **** freebsd 5.4 **** to a samba share and then tried to restore some files interactively with "restore -i -f mydumfile" ont the new box but restore (under netbsd) complained that there was no root directory and i couldn't restore anything (e.g. ls didn't show anything). My question is: the dump programs in netbsd & in freebsd are different in some way, I mean structurally different therefore somewhat incompatible in the two OSs? Ciao Vittorio
