ifconfig gbe200 up -mdiskpw password
You have to provide the password for your A-disk.
Alternately, NETSTAT DEV to get the device name associated with link
GBE200 and "NETSTAT OBEY START <device name>".
If Miguel *really* cared about us, he'd fix ifconfig to use NETSTAT OBEY
instead of OBEYFILE. ;-)
