Seems like its sleeping and swapped out like nfsiods on Qube2s

Hmm. This is sleeping too, but not swapped out.

Yup, seems like NetWorker is running at boot-up either from a rc.d script
or as a loadable device driver / module. To verify, do chkconfig --list
and try to find if nsrexecd is listed, and if so, do chkconfig --del
nsrexecd.
Though this did not work when we tried to rid our Qube2 of NFS, even
though it seemed like it was removed with chkconfig --del, it is loaded
with the kernel as 4 nsfiod processes.  We belive these 4 processes are
used to enable the CD Restore to do a net boot.  There is a NSF daemon
that is generated on the PC during the restore process, and when holding
down the 4 arrow buttons on the Cobalt, the 4 nfsiod clients are booted
awake from their normal sleeping state and facilitate the re-format and
install of O/S packages, like this from the "Console on" null cable session
though the serial port:
bfd /boot/vmlinux.gz
root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=/nfsroot, resulting in a netboot. 
I borrowed that from the netbsd port site for Cobalts: http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/cobalt/faq.html
If its a module, you have to figure a way to unload it or possibly re-compile
the kernel, which is not realistic.  Do you have SW nfsiod clients running
on your Raq3?
