Hang and other questions

I am trying to get Qnet working. I have added my host name on the startup
command in the boot image (-N).

Is this the correct place to put this?

Is this documented anywhere?

The hostname does appear when I type uname -a, so I guess I did something
right.

Where do I specify the domain name?

I assumed that this would create a /net/bill. It didn’t. So I typed ‘ls
/net/bill’ and that console just hung. I couldn’t Ctrl-C to get out of it.
pidin showed ls ws reply blocked on io-net. There was NO NETWORKING
HARDWARE at this time.

Is this the way this is all supposed to work?

I suggest insted of startup -N option, use QNET “host” option, that is:

io-net … -p qnet host=myhost.mydomain

/net/bill’ and that console just hung. I couldn’t Ctrl-C to get out of it.

No, I am not sure what happened (I assume this is 6.1.0A) ?
What is the output of ls /net ? If there is no devn- driver,
you are suppose to see /net with nothing in it (not even yourself).
And ls /net/something, of cause, should return with ENOENT.
