Hi Kelly,

I've been trying to install 2.0 on my MP790 ... I can get to boot from the 
the basic netbsd and start sysinst, detect and install my Pretec wifi cf 
card, setup the partitions (I choose to use the whole disk for NetBsd, 
except for 16MB for FAT16 to store the bootloader. All on my 512MB CF).

I install via ftp through my wifi card. Everything downloads fine, but when 
it tries to untar the files, it hangs! Any idea?
