Since the old phebos was shut down on Thursday, Aug. 11th there are
four problems in booting an IOC. 

1) IOC boot parameters that refer to the old phebos need to be changed.
   The host name should be changed to phoebus (from phebos) and the host
   inet should be changed to 164.54.8.167 i.e.

                host name : phoebus

                host inet: 164.54.8.167

2) there will be a three minute timeout delay in booting IOCs that use the
   default setting for EPICS_IOC_LOG_INET, 164.54.8.2. To fix this problem
   either add the following line to your startup command file before iocInit
          
           iocLogDisable = 1

   or add the definition for EPICS_IOC_LOG_INET to your resource.def file,
   e.g.

           EPICS_IOC_LOG_INET DBF_STRING 164.54.8.167

3) the date command will yield 00:00:00.000 on IOCs using an EPICS release
   before R3.11.6 if the IOC has been set to be the IOC master clock but
   the default inet setting for EPICS_SYSCLK_INET, 164.54.8.2, has not been
   changed.  This default setting can be changed by adding a definition
   for EPICS_SYSCLK_INET to your resource.def file. e.g.

           EPICS_SYSCLK_INET  DBF_STRING 164.54.8.167

4) there must be at least a three minute delay between IOC reboots. If you 
   reboot an IOC within three minutes of a previous boot you will get the
   following error message

      Loading... 
      Error loading file: errno = 0x1a9.

   We are working on a solution to this problem.
