I'm baking a 160G drive for a SVR-2000+turbonet. It finishes unceremoniously, leaving me at a shell prompt. Is that normal, or did it terminate prematurely? Screen 3 looks like this:

Starting restore
Uncompressed backup size: 816 megabytes
Restoring 816 of 816 megabytes (100.00%) (83.78% compression)
Cleaning up restore. Please wait a moment.

This doesn't have the Congratulations notice as shown here: <http://www.ptvupgrade.com/support/ins... however, that example looks different than mine in other ways.

I tried the disk in the TiVo and it wouldn't boot (didn't get past the initial screen).

If this is an error, what could cause it? There was one step I had to do different - the cdrom is configured as the primary master rather than the slave. The PC won't recognize it as the slave (yes, I've double-checked the jumper). Does this cause a problem? It did boot from the CD fine.

Cheers,
Dave

not normal... will definitely be a problem... InstantCake expects the CD-ROM to be your primary slave.... what's weird is that i'm surprised its "working" at all...
