Patch Name:  PHKL_1696

Patch Description: Fixes "premature end of packet" panic in diskless.

        This patch fixes a problem where all the diskless clients but one
        panic with the message "premature end of packet".  The one client
        that doesn't panic, was usually doing a mount operation.  The
        client that does not crash actually caused the problem, so all
        clients have to be patches whether they are S700 or S300.

        The patch for S300 8.0 is PHKL_0767.

        This problem is fixed in HP-UX 9.0.

After getting the patch onto your machine, unshar the patch (sh PHKL_1696).

To install this patch do the following:

4) You should now be in the "From Tape Device to Local System" window.
   Change the "Source:  /dev/rmt/0m" to "Source: /tmp/PHKL_1696.updt"

The customized script that update runs will move the original software

you move the PHKL_1696.text file to /system/PHKL_1696 to be retained for
future reference.
