Hi networktec,

The x235 is a great server - I used to look after several - although a bit long in the tooth now. Obviously there are disks in it and it can be booted from them - there are several options here.

It is unlikely that you will be able to bring it up properly on the existing disks without a username and password, so you could get a Linux live CD and boot from that - from memory the x235 was certified on Suse Linux 8.3 - mount the boot device and hand edit the /etc/shadow file.

To find the bad drives I'd suggest that the easiest way is to pull all drives except the bottom one which I think will show up as /dev/sda and then try and mount using the following command;

Code:
mount -t auto /dev/sda1 /mnt

From there you may be able to see the /mnt/etc directory and edit the shadow file.

As to installing the second OS, you would be correct in installing it on an other hdd - but you will have to configure Grub.

Regards

Dave

NAME
nwvolinfo - Diplay info on NetWare Volumes SYNOPSIS
nwvolinfo [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password | -n ] [ -C ] [ -v volume ] [ -N ] DESCRIPTION
nwvolinfo displays information on a NetWare Server Volume. nwvolinfo looks up the file $HOME/.nwclient to find a file server, a user name and possibly a password. See nwclient(5) for more informa- tion. Please note that the access permissions of $HOME/.nwclient MUST be 600 for security reasons. OPTIONS
-h -h is used to print out a short help text. -S server server is the name of the server you want to use. -U user user is the user name to use for login. -P password password is the password to use for login. If neither -n nor -P are given, and the user has no open connection to the server, nwvolinfo prompts for a password. -n -n should be given if no password is required for the login. -C By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before they are sent to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn off this conversion by -C. -v volume The volume name to be used. Defaults to 'SYS'. -N Display the information in numeric-only format for use in a pipe. AUTHORS
nwvolinfo was written by Jacek Stepniewski <cunio@gazeta.pl> based on utilities by Volker Lendecke. nwvolinfo 7/9/1996 NWVOLINFO(1)
