I am working on a Decstation running Ultrix 4.2 on Mips 3000. Our machine should be similar. I've posted this solution already in another thread called cpio fix. People should read previous posts and if you still have questions, just email me. The solution is to use -C option which means to use old BSD cpio format. I have succeeded to compile my kernel with minor modifications due to missing vers.o file. my method was to use cpio -idalmC usr/src/sys.386bsd I do not extract usr/src/include My main problem now is the insufficient swap space of 7 Mbyte. The 5 Mbyte swap which is the default in 'install' is sufficient to rebuild kernel. A lot of questions are also my questions. I just try out various options and study source codes.
