dd command on a compact flash

2011-04-20 Thread OpenBSD Geek 
Hi, 

I prepared a file : "disk.image"(4GB sectors as my compact flash) ...
doing
it using dd/vnconfig/fdisk/disklabel/newfs/instalboot steps. 

(I followed this : http://glozer.net/soekris/cf-install.html) 

disk.image contain OpenBSD system 4.8-stable 

Now i want to put it on my compact flash (4GB 133x) using : dd
if=disk.image of=/dev/rsd0c bs=512 ; doing it, process(top command ; 100%
IDLE) dd STATE is "SLEEP", and take a long time... doesn't finish. 

Any idea ? 

Thank you very much !

Why don't you just install on the CF directly?

Hi
I think dd is not a good solution for you.
I suggest you visiting this link.
 http://www.nmedia.net/flashdist/flashdist-20090216.tar.gz

 flashdist.sh and growimg.sh in this package are very very usefull for you.
you can write your new script ;)
