Tried that, so the head node and the nodes I'm trying to install are all 
on the same switch.
At the moment one at a time. When I collected all the MAC addresses i 
rebooted them all and about 25 installed happily, with another 5 after one 
or two reboots. For the others I've been trying to do them individually.

I'm using Scientific Linux 4.4 and OSCAR 5.
