cannot create directory?

[William E. Davidsen Jr]

To all of you who wrote and the few who posted about the "Can't create
directory" problem... yes, I had the -d option on, I double checked that
as soon as it failed the first time. My normal cpio reload string is
-icdmv, and I'm sure that's what I had on every time but the first
(which had scrolled off the screen before I checked).

Anyone got any other ideas, or known problems causing the -d option to be
ignored? After trying this four time from the floppy boot, I copied
enough files to the hard disk to boot, and was able to load without
problems. Ideas??

I appreciate all the help, and, yes, I should have mentioned the string
og options used in the first posting. Now that people know it wasn't a
"new user" error, maybe some guru will say "ah, ha!" and tell me what
happened.
