I can confirm that gsyperf3 was/is not set to autoboot.  I can also 
state that it cannot successfully boot.  During POST it spits-out FRU 
problem messages and during OS boot boatloads of Segmentation Fault 
output while it tries to boot, and end-up in busybox.

I'm not sure that gsyprf11 (pa) is connected to the external net.

I tried swapping the cables on gsyprf10 (the lp1000r)  I have to see if 
I can find the old monitor and keyboard to see what its boot state 
happens to be.

Grant - wrt times, I'm here all week, from about 0930 to about 0330 each 
day.  I'd be around later but this week I'm playing single-parent :)
