Sorry in advance if this is silly, but I'm not familiar enough with the install/upgrade process and ramdisks to figure it out myself.
I'm trying to upgrade a Soekris box (net4801, 128Mb RAM, 4Gb CF card) via tftp with the .tgz sets on a usb stick, and the root filesystem (on rd0a) gets full. The system has / mounted read-only and /etc, /var, /dev and /root mounted as mfs, but I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the problem at hand. right before getting the sets: # mount /dev/rd0a on / type ffs (local) /dev/wd0a on /mnt type ffs (local, noatime) /dev/wd0d on /mnt/mfs type ffs (local, noatime, nodev, nosuid) /dev/wd0e on /mnt/home type ffs (local, noatime, nodev, nosuid) # df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/rd0a 1.8M 1.6M 156K 91% / /dev/wd0a 2.5G 256M 2.1G 11% /mnt /dev/wd0d 255M 11.4M 231M 5% /mnt/mfs /dev/wd0e 972M 54.2M 870M 6% /mnt/home getting the sets: bsd 100% |*** (trimmed) ***| 8934 KB 00:14 bsd.rd 100% |*** (trimmed) ***| 6330 KB 00:10 base52.tgz 100% |*** (trimmed) ***| 55648 KB 07:57 uid 0 on /: file system full /: write failed, file system is full man52.tgz 100% |*** (trimmed) ***| 9507 KB 03:56 uid 0 on /: file system full /: write failed, file system is full Location of sets?
