I just my FreeBSD 2.0.5R CDs yesterday, and I am trying to install it onto a secondary system using FTP from my FreeBSD 1.1 system. The rational is that I cam going to get it up and running on the secondary system, recompile and handle any porting issues there, then do the install directoy from the CD on the main system (currently running FreeBSD 1.1) as quickly and with as little down time as possible. (This secondary system was running a SNAP just prior to the CD release before clearing it for this attempt.) That's the theory, but I am getting all kinds of grief. Things seemed fine, but extracting into the /bin directory has generated all sorts of errors on vt1 and now seems to have stalled completely. The error messages I am getting on the installing sytem run like this: ... /stand/cpio: invalid header: checksum error /stand/cpio: warning: skipped 1069056 bytes of junk /stand/cpio: cannot remove current: Is a directory ... On the FreeBSD 1.1 system (providing the FTP service from the CD), I am getting one line like this, seemingly for every file: ... isofs:RR[5] idflag=0xf09d6db4 isofs:RR[5] idflag=0xf09d6e2a isofs:RR[5] idflag=0xf08d36a0 isofs:RR[5] idflag=0xf08d3716 isofs:RR[5] idflag=0xf08d378c ... I also got a couple of these: isofs: name 'Jul 14 06:51:00 dexter su: john to root on /dev/ttyp3 isofs: name 'isofs: name 'isofs:RR[5] idflag=0xf09d6ed8 isofs:RR[5] idflag=0xf09d6d70 isofs:RR[5] idflag=0xf085597c isofs: name 'isofs:RR[5] idflag=0xf09b2214 I suspect the solution is going to be to bite the bullet, yank the CD from the main system, and do a direct install, but if there is a way involving less hardware swapping, I'd sure like to hear it!
