I've just been looking at a problem with a MV3600 that would not
boot from the network as a Satellite.
On searching across the hubs using the FIND ADDRESS using the DECnet
address of a node next on the thinwire chain, Hubwatch correctly found
the Hub/DR90C/Port the node was connected to. However on searching
for the MAC address of the node trying to boot the address was not
found.
Now the problem with the node not booting was because it was on the
wrong segment and the boot node was not seeing the request. However
once the thinwire was moved to the correct Hub and the boot request
was answered, the FIND ADDRESS using the MAC address worked and
identified it correctly.
Does this mean that Hubwatch cannot locate a node in the ">>>Boot
XQA0:" state.?

If you're searching for the AA-00-04-00-xx-xx address, then you
won't find it until DECnet is up, when it (DECnet) sets it into
the interface. Before then you have the 08-00-2B-xx-xx-xx address.
(unless I misunderstood what you are trying to do)

Mike,
It was the MAC address 08-00-2b... that the FIND didn't locate
even though the MV3600 was sending out request while in the Boot
across the network state, however as soon as the request was answered
and the normal SYSBOOT "loaded from node ..." came up then the FIND
ADDRESS successfully located the machine.
