Re: Moving stable build to another machine?

[Anthony Schlemmer <aschlemm_(_at_)_attbi_(_dot_)_com>]

I tried it again after reinstalling OpenBSD 3.1 from CD. I sent "init" a 
SIGTERM signal and put the system into single user mode first. That 
seemed to work better and I was able to login into the system and it 
seems to work. The only puzzling thing now is I get the following error 
messages every so often:

Sep 19 20:45:28 tigger /bsd: arpresolve: can't allocate llinfo
Sep 19 20:46:03 tigger last message repeated 3 times
Sep 19 20:48:13 tigger last message repeated 8 times
Sep 19 20:49:18 tigger last message repeated 3 times
