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

Location of sets? (disk ftp http or 'done') [done]


jumping to shell:

# df -h
Filesystem     Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/rd0a      1.8M    1.8M    2.0K   100%    /
/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


Any clues?

Many thanks
