Same. Still no go.

Tried using tar from the 0.60.2 distro - only reads one file - no error.

I downloaded from www.busybox.net/busybox.tar.gz and tried that version
with and without the patch. still no go. Tried the cvs version. Unable to
patch that one, but still doesn't work.

Whatever version I try, both tar and cpio give up after the first file.

My SCSI controller is extremely old (ISA) and also very SLOW. I don't know
if that is significant.
