Amnesiac boot

Got a really wierd one for you.

4.0D, 4100, 4 x 466, 2Gb system recently patched to jumbo 3.0 after which the
following problem occurs

When we do a full boot from the console i.e boot_osflags=a the system boots into
the following state

Login banner. Instead of the usual we get

          Digital UNIX 4.0 (Amnesiac) console
          login:

No addition swap space is added ( only default available)
No licences are loaded
Can't init3 the machine.
None of the startup scripts are run. i.e /etc/rc*d

The only work round is to

boot -fl s
lsmbstartup
bcheckrc
lmf reset
Control-D ( performs an init 3 )

A real pain as this is part of an ASE cluster.

Has anyone out there seen this. Cheers in advance.
