I've only recently started working with the Apollo workstation. We have been having strange problems with one of our machines. I think it's hardware but I'm not sure. The machine will not boot on the network it dies when "starting daemons". The machine will boot as a standalone system. When we boot as standalone, reattach the machine to the lan and then run ctnode update we get a message saying something like - Unable to find boot directory on other nodes, but it does know about the other nodes. What does this mean (if anything)? Thanks from a newcomer, Jane
