[Testbed-admins] Question of add new node and tftpboot

Hi,
We have 2 version emulab in our machines, old version and latest version, and on-line server is the latest version, off-line server is the old version.
We want to add new nodes to the machine latest version. But when we using tftpboot in latest version to add a new node, node will coutinuously reboot as in figure 2.
If we copy tftpboot from machine old version to machine latest version, we can get the login in screen as in figure 1.But still we can not add a new node.
Can we copy the tftpboot directory from machine old version to machine latest version directly? or we should using 'tftpboot-latest.tar' in machine latest version and execute the "prepare" script in three MFSes??
And where shall we copy? Shall we maintain the same file to /tftpboot/ and /usr/testbed/tftpboot ?

In tftpd.log, some file's path had problem, example, "/tftpboot/freebsd.newnode/kernel.ko.gz" and "/tftpboot/freebsd.newnode/boot/kernel.ko.gz", the path is right?

We have no idea how to add the node in this situation.Would you please give us a hand to handle this problem?
