middguy,

everytime that I try to perform the full copy (/tar-temp/bin/tar cf - -C .floppy . | /tar-temp/bin/tar xvf - -C /opt), the copy starts and goes for about 10-15 minutes, and then at some point, xterm aborts, and the copy terminates (early?). Then, if I try to finish the instructions, and reboot, when I select to boot from mmc2 (stable), it gives a "boot from mmc2 failed. booting from flash" message. Boot from flash appears to work fine.

how exactly did you turn virtual memory back on? Previous instructions did not match what I saw under control panel.

thanks,
