[SunRescue] Swapping a system between boxes

[Gil Young]

I tried this once between a SS5 and an Ultra1/170, and I think if I kept at 
it I could get it to work, but time and work needs came into my way so I 
opted for another solution :).  Albeit this swap corssed platforms (from S5 
to U1), you may have better luck.  Please do try and let us know how it goes!
