I have a new desktop with netbsd 2.0.2 and a portable with freebsd 5.4 (my pet
OS but it didn't boot on the compaq evo 510 box; therefore netbsd!).
Now, I had dumped my previous old desktop with freebsd 5.4 to a
samba share and then tried to restore some files interactively with restore
-i -f mydumfile ont the new box but restore (under netbsd) complained that
there was no root directory and i couldn't restore anything (e.g. ls didn't
show anything).
My question is:
the dump programs in netbsd in freebsd are different in some way, I mean
structurally different therefore somewhat incompatible in the two OSs?
Quite likely. dump is different between FreeBSD 4 and FreeBSD 5, and
unfortunately there does not appear to be a backwards compatibility
mode.
