	Young,
	Can you install the ethernet address 08-00-2b-24-cb-33 for 
	m1-139a-1. This DS3100 needs a SW install.
	"aklog, unable to find file or dir"

	dcns-cluster,
	Okay here is the deal w/ netloading DS3100s.
	If your subnet is 18.70, 58, 186, 80 or 142 give the ethernet
	address to Young. As soon as he is set up you may start the 
	install at any time and don't have to call Young back to tell
	him you are done. Boot the DS3100 like so;
			>>tftp()/athena-subnet#-1
		    ex: >>tftp()/athena-58-1
	This will start the Maxine install script. Install like a Maxine.

	If you are not on the above subnets then the procedure is like it
	always was.


	So, Will this ever be standard? I talked to Tom Coppeto who said 
	that they (network) are still working on the Maxines being able to 
	install on each subnet. When this is done we can netload at our
	lesiure after Young installs the ethernet address.
	A perfect solution would be a DS3100/5000 install like the Maxines.
	Young is this possible???

	John

	PS.
	The dude from 1-139 has okayed the SW load and would like to do it at
	2pm on Thursday. Call 3-1419 at 2pm to confirm.
