If you give them all a different ips, then write a perl/python etc. script that 
pings the machines before amcheck kicks in and then the script can delete or 
insert a # as appropriate in the disklist:

Or maybe not ;-)

Subject:        multi-boot systems
I've not even tried to address this situation.
So right now I'm just asking if others have
come up with ways of handling it.

I have two systems that multi-boot, i.e. let
me pick which OS to boot into.  For example,
my laptop has W2K, Solaris 9, and Fedora.
And 'lucifer', my newest one is a try anything
platform, and currently has 5 different OS's.

Currently, I select one OS from each multi-boot
computer and do enter that into the disklist.
But only if that is the one booted does it
succeed.

I guess I could enter all the possibilities
and let things fail or succeed as they might.
But any other brainstorming ideas?
