also see my other mail. a bit explanation:

It means that there is a pathname with the host component
BTREE. Actually it is a logical pathname. This is
sometimes a problem when you install some software
on the Lisp machine. A file is to be restored, but
the logical pathname definition is not yet available.

A solution is to write yourself a logical pathname
file for the host btree. The lispmachine has a
directory for logical pathname and system lookup.
Kind of a registry. There operating system should
have placed a lot of stuff in this directory
there. You will have to write a file for the
BTREE logical host with the necessary logical
pathname translation.

Actually you also can just
type the translation direclty into a listener.

Maybe you need a Unix-like pathname as a target - on Open Genera -
I don't know.
