Re: [Testbed-admins] Customizing Generic Image

[Mike Hibler <mike@flux.utah.edu>]

Sounds like it is working.  Instead of running it with "-dd", run it with "-o"
which will give less verbose output but still give an indication of activity.
It will be a rows of dots, with two numbers at the end of each row.  Those
are the number of seconds it has been running and the byte offset on the disk
it is at.  For example, here is what I get loading a 2Ghz machine with an IDE
disk using a generic image.  Note that it takes less than 3 minutes:
