I am currently trying to install 386BSD 0.0 on a 386 machine.  When trying

to begin the copying of floppy1 with the command "mr $FTRK $RFD | tar -xzf -"

I get the message "tar: Could not create file README : Read-only file system"

over and over for each file on the first floppy that it tries to copy.  Is 
 
there some way to make wd0a and wd0h read-write file system when executing

the newfs command?  If not, what else could be wrong?  Any help would be

greatly appreciated.
