The above instructions are *highly* incorrect. bf-common.tgz
*contains* base2_2.tgz (for i386 anyway). That does not mean it *is*
base2_2.tgz.
Here are the proper instructions:
1. build base2_2.tgz from boot-floppies CVS or extract from bf-common.tar.gz
2. make a temp area for putting the base system in
3. become root, and do the following:
cd <temparea>
tar -xpzf <whereever>/base2_2.tgz
chroot . bin/bash
mount -t proc proc /proc
4. fini
