Hello, I had my cube running (Ver 1.0) on a Non-Netinfo heterogeneous network
of Suns, Macs, Gators, etc. Was doing NFS mounts, telnets, ftps and the like.
Had a printer connected to the cube, and was able to print. I was running
Yellow Pages (no flames please).

Took the cube home (no network). Powered up. Disk spinning icon and the legend
"Starting system services..." stayed up forever. Rebooted using left-alt, left-
command, *. I started BANGING on Ctl-Cs when the legend said "Checking Disk".
Got the "NMI>" prompt. Typed "mon" to get to the monitor. TYped "bsd". Event-
tually the cube came up. ( oh yes, changed ypbind to ypbind.orig, like on Sun.)

Is there an easier way to do this? I'll probably be alternating between network
and no network for awhile. What can I do before I shut down that will make
starting up in the other environment easier?

PS: has anyone seen the 1.0 tech docs yet?
