In the above message, arp is the Address Resolution Protocol. If you
receive this message, check the /etc/hosts file to determine the
correct host name. If the client was never registered with a network
naming service (such as BIND or NIS) or was never entered in the
/etc/hosts file, press

the client to the /etc/hosts file before you restart the procedure.

systems in different departments at your site, you could specify
/clients/deptname/hostname as the root location. The deptname
directory must exist already under the /clients directory.

Enter the swap device and partition on client1. [dsk0b]:
