- If you do not have some "braindead-cpio" system which swaps bytes (Sun3 and
- other 68xxx related systems have this "feature") you might try the following:
-
- # have the bin01.* files HERE
- mkdir distdir
- cd distdir
- cat ../bin01.* | uncompress | cpio -idvalmu
-
- into a directory under 'distdir'. But be warned: there may be complaints about
- some devices in distdir/dev/* which cannot be created if you are not root
- (depends on whether you may execute mknod). You may have to rebuild the
- devices on the 386bsd system manually.
-
- This procedure has been tested on a Sun4 Sparc.
