Now I've tried the 'cp' and 'dd' approach with no success.. Both
approaches reulted in the client crashing and rebooting. Something that
makes this problem even more difficult to understand is that I have
managed to use mv two times with success.. 
Could it be something wrong with my Network adapter??? 
It's an SMC card using the dc0 driver. I've had
this problem before running freebsd4.7 on the client, but I think the
problem that time was that the kernel was built from another CVS-release
than the rest of the OS. 

If there are any logs that could be of interest, tell me and I'll post
them..

regards Stefan
