diskparts (which is run by termrc) needs that /dev/sysname to
be set and because it isn't you get that error.
add "sys=yourmachine ether=yournickmacaddr" to your /lib/ndb/local
to find out yourmacaddr cat /net/ether0/addr.

I don't think that is quite correct. The error is indeed caused by an empty
sysname, but happens in termrc after diskparts is run. It probably bails at
the line

if(test -e /cfg/$sysname/termrc)

exactly, because diskparts does
sysname='{cat /dev/sysname}

I see. I didn't think about this, as that line happens to be in termrc, too.
(And before subsequent uses of sysname.) But after all the error is
independent of diskparts. But you're right, I should check my facts
sometimes.
