Here's a new one ...
I just tried to boot one of my DN3000's (normally running
SR9.7.1) off of a DN460 running SR10.1 so I could test out
some DN3000 specific software under SR10. I copied the /sau8
directory from the AA machine over to the DN460 and then
booted the DN3000 diskless off of the DN460. The machine booted
just fine, but when I try to login it pops up my two initial
windows and they are still-born. I never get a shell prompt,
typing control-Q gets me a "level 2 process not found" message,
and typing control-N closes the window. Doing a "cp /com/sh" or
a "cp /bin/csh" DM command also pops up a dead window.

So ... just for tricks ... I tried booting my DN560 (my AA machine)
off of the DN460. I copied the /sau5 directory over and then
tried to boot the machine. Much to my surprise, it would not
boot. It starts loading the OS and then gets a "boot error:
uid request failed" message just after the low, high, and
start addresses are printed.

Are these known bugs? Are there known fixes? Am I just
doing something stupid?
