[geeks] Install on one Ultra, use on another?

[Rob]

Is the Blade also a 4u architecture? That would really screw it up if it
wasn't.

Second minor issue, you'll have to update the eeprom on the target machine
to point to the new disk and update the vfstab.

Sounds like a viable plan otherwise.

Let us know how it works.
