Solution:
cd /sys/conf
grep -i cdfs <upper-case-hostname>
should look like:
alpha1:root:/sys/conf# grep -i cdfs ALPHA1
options CDFS
if not, then do a "man doconfig"
and follow the steps to add a cdfs option.
to mount:
/sbin/mount -rt cdfs -o nodefperm,noversion /dev/rz4c /cdrom
Then do your cpio command.
Thanks
Scott
