    Hey Guys, Anybody have any experience cloning Bull systems to RS6k or
    pSeries boxes??

    The restore seems to go without a hitch, but hangs on overmounting.
    Afterwords the system won't boot to the newly restored internal drives NOR
    with firmware even see the drives now. Restore was done with like-level CD
    boot and 8mm mksysb. I can now boot from CD to mount root and see all
    internal drives and everything OS-wise looks good. I'm going to try a
    bosboot and another reboot.

    For those of you (like me) who haven't heard of Bull, they're basically IBM
    RISC or pSeries boxes with different labeling on the outside, and my
    understanding is they are mostly sold overseas. Bull support has confirmed
    that they are IDENTICAL with the exception of the frames that say BULL
    instead of IBM....

    Any ideas?? Thanks!!
