I'm trying to install OpenBSD on my Amiga 3000, but when I try to
transfer the miniroot to the swap partition with xstreamtodev, it
does 8% of the transfer and stops.  I've followed everything in the
installation guided for setting up the partitions, and I've tried
turning on/off Synchronous mode on my scsi controller (with SCSIPrefs).
I'm trying to install on an external IMPRIMIS 1 Gb drive.  It has the 
following partitions:
IDH0 - 500Mb Amiga DOS FFS partition
IDH1 - 25Mb OpenBSD root partition (empty)
IDH2 - 45Mb OpenBSD swap partition (empty, expt for 8% of inst-20.fs)
IDH3 - 150Mb OpenBSD /usr partition (empty)
IDH4 - 277Mb OpenBSD /usr/local/ partition (empty)

I'm using the following:  
xstreamtodev --input=inst-20.fs --rdb-name=IDH2

It finds everything, and asks if I want to start the transfer, it gets
going, then quits.

I double checked all the start and end cylinders to make sure there was
no overlap, and I couldn't find anything wrong.  Double checked the 
custom filesystem types for OpenBSD, and they are correct according
to the INSTALL.amiga guide.

Any ideas?
