This error usually occurs when the guaranteed sys5.3
environment is not resident on the node you're booting
off.  /sys/net/netman.bin_sh uses certain commands
from the /sys5.3/bin directory.  If this isn't there
it will never complete the 'node_data setup, and you
will get this error.

Every node that the os is installed on, including those
where sys5.3 was not chosen as an available environment,
should have a minimal set of sys5.3 commands to support
installation scripts.
