problems getting started

Is there a quick howto somewhere on the basics of getting a failsafe system up and running ? I only want to try some simple setups such as a single node, using failsafe to restart a crashed app or two nodes with a single service and have failsafe move the app from node1 to node2 in the event of app or os failure on node1

I've tried 1.0.2 RPMs , 1.0.3 source RPMSs and 1.0.4 from CVS. I've grabbed the sysadm_* rpms from sourceforge. The logs below are from 1.0.3.

I've tried cdbreinit, but it does not appear to have any effect. If i try to define a node or cluster using CLI , it allows me to enter the properties, but it cannot save the definition.
