Hi Gurus

We have a DEC 3000-300X that had corrupted system files and we had
to reinstall DU 3.2d. However the reinstallation process from CD ROM is getting stuck
during the OSFBASE350 transfer with the messages in the console:

Base System

Copying from /kit/ALPHA/BASE (disk)
working...

tar:-: This doesn't look like a tar archive.
       Skipping to next file.

File copy to system disk failed

     OSFBASE350 may not be installed.

Has anybody hints on how to circunvent this? We have tried two different
hard disks and also tried DU 4.0, with the same message.

TIA,
