[GRASSLIST:4164] m.in.e00 problem?

[Jeff D. Hamann]

I've been trying to import some e00 files using the following step....

Mapset <PERMANENT> in Location <jackson-stp>
GRASS-GRID > m.in.e00 input=b20.e00 action=raster verbose=3
GRASS-GRID > d.mon start=x0
using default visual which is TrueColor
ncolors: 65536
Graphics driver [x0] started
GRASS-GRID > r.colors map=b20 color=grey
Color table for [b20] set to grey
GRASS-GRID > d.rast b20
100%

and the resulting image is all white...

the r.rast function returns

GRASS-GRID > r.info b20

which doesn't seem to be correct as the minimum value is a very large
negative number. This is a grid that was imported from a landsat7 tif image
(i would try to import it directly into grass itself but I'm having problems
with gdal on my freebsd machine right now and need to do a bunch of port
upgrades...

Is there some step I am leaving out here?

Thanks,
Jeff.
