- If I remember correctly, I had to run MAKEDEV.

- I remember posting something like this back in July.
-
- Here's how I did it:
-
- My solution after reading the cpio (yuk) man page and getting some
- help with my Bourne Shell from my friend David Zuhn was:
-
- - Install Tiny 386BSD on the hard drive.
- - Boot from the hard drive
- - The extraction procedure:
- % cd /tmp
- % loadfd # copy all the bin01.* to /tmp. Ctrl-C when done.
- % cd /
- % (for i in /tmp/bin01.*; do
- > cat $i && rm $i
- > done
- > ) | uncompress | cpio -iadm
-
- That should extract each bin01.?? file and remove it. The '%' and '>'
- are shell prompts. Note: the $i instead of $1. Try this again.
- This is how I unpacked 386BSD bindist on a 40 meg Seagate ST-251 MFM
- drive. Hope this helps.
