The following reply was made to PR bin/81218; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Wesley Groleau <groleau+wes@freeshell.org> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, groleau+bsd@freeshell.org Cc: Subject: Re: bin/81218: 5.4 dist archives not backwards compatible Date: Wed, 18 May 2005 23:09:41 -0500 I found a workaround: Apparently, enough got loaded before 'tar' bailed out to make the disk bootable. The boot sequence hung before giving a login prompt, and remote logins wouldn't work. However, by unplugging peripherals, I finally shook it loose enough to a place where Ctrl-C would exit the startup script. Then I was able to repeat the commands using the 'tar' that the failed attempt had installed. -- Wes Groleau ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^ A UNIX signature isn't a return address, it's the ASCII equivalent ^ ^ of a black velvet clown painting.
