If you think/know that bin01.56 is correct try this one (which is what
extract is doing, anyway :-)

cd /
cat /tmp/bin01.?? | uncompress | cpio -idalcm
                                         ^^^^--- I'm not sure about these
                                                 (but it works OK for me)
