         We recently encountered problems booting one of our diskless
         nodes.  It seemed that the node couldn't find its partner.  We
    checked all the relavant files and made sure netman was alive on the
    partner.  All seemed in order to us, but the diskless node just
    refused to cooperate with us.

One way to narrow this down is to kill off the netman on the disked
partner, then restart it in a window (just run /sys/net/netman).
Then you'll be able to see if it actually got the request, and if so,
what it did with it.
