dd command on a compact flash
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 !
