Hi All ,
        We recently upgraded the above two machines from a single
        5/250 to twins and a single 5/400 to twin 5/533 .
        A HSZ70 was also installed in the 4100 and SWXCR disks
        and controller added to the 2100 . The Digital engineer
        did most of the work (lots of it) .
        Ever since then , when we boot the macines , we are missing
        most of the startup log . It seems to start half way through
        (see below) . This is the same in messages , syslog.dated/kern.log
        and binary.errlog . Has anybody seen this before or does
        anyone have any clues .

On the 2100 :
I am missing everything from re0 to re20 . All the files start at the
re21 message . (see below) On the 4100 it starts at the first disk but
is missing everthing up to that .

uerf -R -r 300 :
