That's excellent news.  I've committed a little hack to do this
additional probing on (some) K-class servers, so there should be
snapshots in a few days, and you could just wait for that.

Setting the machine up to boot diskless over nfs is another option;
see diskless(4) for details.  Not sure if that's a fun thing to do
over ie(4) though.

Looks like two of your drives are giving you some problems, but HP-UX
was complaining about those too, so I'm not going to worry about that.
Perhaps you should just remove them.

Seems there are still some devices missing, probably behind those
unconfigured bus converters.  I'll see if I can figure out something
about those.

Thanks,

Mark
