I've got some more details on this one.

Root can run sunpci with no problems, which is strange. I moved a
user's home into /tmp (setenv HOME /tmp), and it starts up with no
problems, so something very weird with NFS is going on. I have some
truss output that shows it just sleeping, but I can't seem to find what
it's sleeping on.

But, for now, I'll just leave it as-is, and build up the Sol10 image,
and see if things are cleared up there. Maybe revisit the nfs issue later.

Thanks to Rich Teer for a few suggestions, everyone should go out and
buy his book :)
