ASR Additional Command line attempts

...ok now trying something different. On this second attempt I was trying to restore to a firewire drive that was partitioned into 3 volumes. I was thinking maybe it wasn't working because it didn't want to write to a firewire volume that was partitioned. (don't ask me why-I just think some firewire volumes are finicky) So this time I booted from the firewire drive instead and I installed an additional drive right into the machine and tried again. Can anyone see the error in my ways in the following terminal session? Last login: Tue Jul 15 10:44:20 on console Welcome to Darwin!

I have to get this image finished and the pc guys think this is really funny and have made some very dry Mac jokes. Maybe pc's really are the answer. It's slow going trying to learn this stuff from bulletin boards and trial and error. Anyone wanta have an ASR party? I will bring the beer!
