Some things to check: 1) See if the node you're booting off of has been netsvc'ed 2) Make sure the disked node has a /sys/node_data. 3) Try RE then DI N then EX AEGIS Best way for me to help you is if you e-mail me. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ARPAnet: tmac@caen.engin.umich.edu USMAILnet: Tom McLeary "It's not whether you Computer Operations Support win or lose; Univ. of Michigan/CAEN it's what you drive 231 Chrysler Center home in."
