I am trying to run a diskless HP/Apollo 425e off a HP/Apollo 425s.
The OS on the 425s is SR 10.3.4. We also have a diskless 425t off the
same 425s using the token ring. Now the 425e only has ethernet. When
we tried to boot the 425e off the 425s, the 425s did not repond to
the boot (call).

The 425s is on the outside network using its ethernet card.
(So the ethernet on the 425s seems to be OK.)
However, the principle network on the 425s is token ring.

My question is:

Given the token ring as the principal network and the ethernet as
the secondary network, is it possilbe to boot the 425e and the 425t
off the 425s at the same time? (There is no problem to boot the 425t
as it stands now.)

Another note:

To boot the 425e off the 425s, we tried to switch the
principal network to ethernet. Then the 425s did not boot.
(Well, it went through all the self-tests, loaded the OS and the
local files. However, the window did not come up.)

I'd appreciate any comments on this.
