Single System disk attempt
Followed another approach: just create a new system root, have all missing (node-specific) files copied and boot from there.
Copying the files was already a problem with switching paths. The same happens booting from that shared system disk:

and that may go on for some time. The only way to get on is to abort the process
Asked ITRC how to get on from here...

FTP
One from Belgium:
%%%%%%%%%%% OPCOM 27-DEC-2005 17:59:21.76 %%%%%%%%%%%
Message from user TCPIP$FTP on DIANA

Script running. Too short to do it all by hand:

He (or she? but most kiddies are male) tries quite a lot:

It just does that. I keep a blog on this on OpenVMSPlanet (http://www.openvmsplanet.org/community/viewtopic.php?t=28&sid=c27cd31ebae1d756c7631c2e59716f95) so you can reard there what problems I encountered up to this moment. It will be a harder nut to crack, than I imagined....
