Hi,

does anyone know, how to recover from a:

cpio: ERROR: out of sync bad header/magic number
      restore aborted.

This happens on an AT386 machine running Interactive's 386/ix 2.0.1 Unix
on the third of 18 Floppies.
Someone an idea how I can read at least the rest of this ?
Any help welcome.
Joachim
