Migrating data from ReiserFS partition to dfly and FBSD having problems to see DFBSD partitions

Hello, I installed DragonFly BSD 1.4 quite some time ago. I have also got a big ReiserFS partition on which I have 60GB+ of data. I'm trying to move the data from the ReiserFS to a DFBSD slice (UFS). Because DFBSD doesn't have ReiserFS support so I'm trying to use a FBSD LiveCD but I need to

It would be nice to have some better descriptions for people that like to multi-boot (like me). At this point there's lots of room, we'll see when I've added more features. I can always figure out a way to optimize it. At the moment it just shows fat/ntfs as being Windows - since there's

errno contain 672964768

I am trying to track down why ktrace shows RET select -1 errno 4 Interrupted system call But errno has 672964768. The code uses selecterr = errno or selecterr = (* __error()); selecterr is an int. And prints out that selecterr. Any ideas on where 672964768 is coming from? Jeremy C.
