This is to load `diag', etc. When this happens, the hosts are ethernet connected & I can `ftp', `rcp', etc between them. However, neither host runs NFS. However, I can not figure out how to make them `boot' each other. All of the incantations of `b le(...)stand/diag' I have tried do nothing. So...what servers, daemons, links, & the like need to be in place before I can make this work? Thanks.
