System was hung when I came in, would ping but not respond to telnet
or rlogin, hitting any key to start did nothing, ready light on root
disk was off.  Halted with button, typed h u i b, ready light came on
after u.  System is currently unable to boot:

>>> b

  2..
?4B CTRLERR, DUA0
Loading system software.

  2..
?4B CTRLERR, DUA0
?06 HLT INST
    PC = 00000EE6
Failure.
>>>

Other attempts yield similar results, or just hang the system at the
"2.." message.  Once the error was DEVINACT MUA0.

I power cycled the machine and got the same DUA0 error message.

I will be in parts of the 30th, 31st, 1st, and 2nd.  I will then be
away for four months on a research trip, and Steve McDonald
<mcdonald@mit.edu> will be cluster manager here.  I will still read
email when I am away <jh@mit.edu>.
