I have a newly-installed 386BSD system installed on a 486/33, 128kb
cache, 16mb, Maxtor 8760S disk, CDC Wren IV 307mb disk, Archive
2150S tape.

I have the system installed and running.  I am trying to unarchive
the srcdist tree so I can look at kernel reconfigs, and play with
src to the unix commands.  Partway through the unpacking
(I did "cat src01.*|uncompress|cpio -icdvum"), about where it
was extracting stuff to usr/src/obj, the system paniced as follows:

Panic:  kmem_malloc: kmem_map too small

Is this a known problem?  Any work-around so I can get the
srcdist unpacked?

(or do I have to dig out the "extract" program (that unfortunately
was in /tmp durng the initial install so is gone now)????

Thanks,
Bill
