The following machines seem to have serious problems. They are all Vaxstation
IIs.
m3-469a-4
m3-469a-13
m3-469a-5
m3-469a-10
The last two boot from their local disks OK but then halt because they are
"unable to initialize network." Both of them print a message about address
255.255.255.255 (or something like that) being an illegal address.
The -13 machine appears to have a disk failure, because it complains about read
errors when it tries to boot.
Hard to tell what's wrong with -4; when it tries to boot, it prints the
countdown 2...1...0 and then finds a HLT instruction without further messages.
