Hey i think i've solved the problem,
Since the am trying to cp a file that is abut 650mb to tmp at the time of boot, perhaps the memory bits are not yet arranged properly and since its still in fragments(in the early stages of boot),i guess such a large file cannot be cp to tmp.
The error i got from your script cannot be written since it runs into lots of lines and i'll have to write it down first then transfer(no camera)..
Anyway, if you have any idea what i can do now to pin this file to /tmp pls suggest,...
Awaiting your reply

setmaillist
setmaillist(1) General Commands Manual setmaillist(1)
NAME
setmaillist - create a binary mailing list
SYNOPSIS
setmaillist bin tmp
DESCRIPTION
setmaillist reads a mailing list from its standard input.
setmaillist writes the mailing list in a binary format to tmp; it then moves tmp to bin. tmp and bin must be on the same filesystem.
If there is a problem creating tmp, setmaillist complains and leaves bin alone.
The binary mailing list format is portable across machines.
setmaillist always creates bin world-readable.
MAILING LIST FORMAT
The mailing list read by setmaillist is a series of lines. NUL bytes are not allowed.
If a line begins with a dot or slash, setmaillist takes the entire line as an include file name.
If a line begins with an ampersand, setmaillist takes the rest of the line as a recipient address. If a line begins with a letter or num-
ber, setmaillist takes the entire line as a recipient address. Each recipient address must include a fully qualified domain name. Recipi-
ent addresses longer than 800 bytes are not allowed.
setmaillist ignores blank lines and lines beginning with #. It also ignores spaces and tabs at the ends of lines.
For example,
god@heaven.af.mil
djb@silverton.berkeley.edu
is a mailing list with two addresses.
