Hello Hotline -

Twice in two days, the Ultra10 in 54-100 has needed rebooting with
the command 

	boot disk:a

Since this might tend to happen on a regular basis, I suggest that
a small sign be made up with this command, and taped to the table
next to the machine.  This is especially important until the
telephone in that room is once again working.  I had to field a
call from a professor this morning who was forced to go up a
number of flights to the library in building 54 to find a
telephone, in order to call me and ask what the command was.

This might also be needed in 1-190, if these machines are
particularly flaky with regard to needing to be rebooted.
