Hi,
A user, jloris, called the Athena Help Desk about the machine
KIERKEGAARD, in E25-143. The HST office told me you were
the person to contact. Here is the log and thank you!

Question:
There is a Sun Sparc 5 station in this cluster that will not reboot properly.
I attempted the 'Stop+a' death grip, followed by the boot command at the 'ok'
prompt, but it starts trying to read something and just repeats:
Short read 0x2000 char read
Read error
and then it finally asks for a "device instance number file [/dev/null]".
We could really use it--any advice?
