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

Loading system software.

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>.
