[cobalt-developers] OS Restore server?

I set up a server here to be a RaQ OS restore server. I can plug into a
hub and restore RaQ1, RaQ1->2, RaQ2, RaQ3, and RaQ4, all from the same
server (and I don't have to boot a CD, make sure I have the exact right
hardware and configuration, etc. - I put update PKGs on the server to be
loaded during restore). It was easy to make MIPS and x86 RaQs restore
from the same server, because the MIPS RaQs mount "/nfsroot" and the x86
RaQs mount "/nfsroot-x86".
Now we have a RaQ550 and I need to do an OS restore. However, the
RaQ550 also mounts "/nfsroot-x86", but it doesn't look like the RaQ3/4
netboot filesystem will coexist with the RaQ550 netboot filesystem. I
tried setting my DHCP server with 'option root-path "/nfsroot-x86-550";'
but the RaQ550 ignored it and mounted "/nfsroot-x86" anyway.
Does anyone know of a way to make this coexist on a single server? Does
Sun have different networks for restoring different RaQs?

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
