OK I want to try this so that I have better control of things and
understand it all better
On the restore side I guess I have to have the new /var mounted in the
cwd where I run this command?
e.g.
mkdir /mnt/var
chmod 0777 /mnt/var
mount /dev/foo /mnt/var
cd /mnt/var
and shouldn't the restore/nc be the other way around? So now :
nc source 11111 | restore -rf -
Also, I have the OpenBSD install CD booted and I exited to shell, but
there does not seem to be an nc there.
What are you booting on the restore side?
And do you have the -l option on the correct end up there?
I'm relatively new to nc as well but man page says that is "listen"
for incoming connection
