Better way is a (cd /; cat /tmp/dev.cpio.gz | gzip -d | cpio .... ) this will work both with gzip and minigzip On embedded system preferable to save space, so extra 100K is a good reason to throw away gzip :) >How-To-Repeat: hardlink gzip to minigzip and try to run /etc/rc.diskless2 file for embedded system booting. >Fix: see above >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
