mkserv has the following line:

case "${MACH}" in
DS3100)
	SITE=var
	;;
*)
	SITE=site
	;;
esac

It should be:

case "${MACH}" in
DS3100|MIPS)
	SITE=var
	;;
*)
	SITE=site
	;;
esac


The /srvd/.rvdinfo contains the keyword MIPS but after an update, will
contain DS3100. 

I feel that the /srvd/.rvdinfo should contain MIPS.

Several solutions exist to the problem:
a) modify mkserv as above.
b) modify phase2.sh in creating /etc/version to change the machine type
listed. 

I prefer (b) and will make changes to this affect. In future releases, mkserv
will have to be a little more intelligent as we add other types of
machines. (like DS5400 and DS5000).
