A3000UX problems, help.

Hi,

	I was an authorized beta site for Amiga Unix and am now an
authorized sales site for Amiga Unix.  My beta machine included a beta
version of the OS as well as a beta PIC.  Our DSM has been unable to get us
a current PIC, so that we could upgrade our demo machine.
	Today a Product Demonstrator showed up at our store with a PIC with
Amiga Unix v1.1, is this the most current version?  I don't think that this
was the actuall distribution PIC but rather a backup of v1.1 off his
machine.  We installed it on our machine and are having the following
troubles:

1.  Upon booting up, we are greeted with the error message
    "etc/rc3d/s2rfs:/etc/rfs/domain not initalized."
    What does this error mean, how can we correct it?

2.  Our A3000UX has 9 MEGS, all of which is recognized when we boot in
AmigaDos 2.0 or 1.3, however under unix we get 5 MEGS total, 2 MEGS usable.
Obviously we cant even run OpenLook in this, what is wrong here?  How can
we fix it?

3.  We have CBM eithernet cards in the A3000UX as well as 3 of the other
A2500's and A3000's in the store.  We are running CBM TCP/IP software on
the other machines.  What is the lattest version of this software?  How do
I check what version I have?  Our version does not support rcp between
AmigaDos machines.  Is there any way to implement a remote printer device?
Currently we have the printer on one of the AmigaDos machines and have to
FTP postscript files to its PAR: port.

4.  What is the exact syntax for backing up the whole Unix partition to a
PIC?  I tried piping the output of "FIND \ -depth", etc... to cpio as per
the AmigaUnix manual but it craps out after about 50 files.  Do you have to
format the tape somehow?  Is there anyway to erase the tape or to force it
to start from the begining so I could store a new backup over the old one?

Thanks for any help on any of the above!
