- I find it a bit suprising that the machine will not boot diskless
- from another node. Does it get partway (ie: does it show some byte count
- and then die, or at least find its partner)? If so, and your running
- 10.3, I would bet that you are seeing the netman bug that made the
- diskless boot hang if there was a broadcast packet on the segment.
- Try to apply the patch to the partner node and try again.
