What Leigh's asking is about the boot *beofre* - eg. it's possible the
node booted up, Frisbeed okay, but didn't get removed from the reloading
experiment properly. If that happend, you'd get the error you're seeing
here.

I would watch the console of the node while you run 'os_load <node>' on

This really solved the problem here. The disk images got reloaded and nodes got to the free pool now.

boss, to make sure that the reload really is failing the first time
through.

Running in a VM certainly could introduce issues, for example multicast
not working, but I wouldn't expect it to introudce this particular one -
the node has contacted tmcd on boss to find out what multicast address
is being used for this image, and tmcd is looking in the database and
finding nothing.
