ISM restore to different machine

IDS 9.40 on Suse Linux SLES8. We backup IDS to disk using onbar and ISM. We then backup the whole Linux disk using cpio. And we have recovered this configuration to the same physical machine in the past. We are now trying to "clone" the machine for further development purposes. We restored all of the informix directories and the ISM backup directories. We then created the appropriate devices for ISM, and mounted them. So far so good. We started up ism and asked ism_catalog to find_bootstrap on the device. It failed to find a bootstrap. It did manage to recover the save set info though. Does anybody have any idea as to the contents of the bootstrap? Needless to say that - as usual - the development project haven't allowed us much time to do this "delicate" operation. And BTW - we did have propblems with ism_startup but we solved those by unsetting the PRINTER environment variable and by installing the c compiler. It's interesting that ism needs those facilities to run on Linux. I Live and Learn. Malcolm sending to informix-list
