BTW, I downloaded the MFSs from

found there is code related to 'role' in newclient script, but that
script in 4.7 newnode do not have. Am I looked at the right place?
I guess no one has tried the 4.7 MFSs in a long time.
So, I think you can grab newclient from your (src) install directory
(or from the 6.2 MFS) and put it on the 4.7 MFS. Lets hope that works.
I tried this method but it doesn't work. newclient from src require some lib which 4.7 MFS doesn't have.
So I think it is better to work with the new MFS, As you suggested last time, the possible reason why my new
machine can not boot into 'freebsd.newnode' and 'freebsd' MFS could be the driver problem. Could you
help me to figure out what kind of driver problem it is and how to debug this issue?
My target machine 1 is:
Processor : Intel Core 2 Duo CPU E8400 3.00GHz
Memory: 8192MB
Hard Disk: ST3500418AS 500GB
My target machine 2 is:
Processor: Intel Pentium III 933MHz
Memory: 512 MB SDRAM
Hard Disk: ST380011A 80GB
I also notice that even the freebsd.newnode can not get to the login prompt (both above machines), but they did report themselves to Boss and I can
see a new node there at 'Add Testbed Nodes' web page.
