I tweaked up a recipe (season to taste right?) and started a cluster with Whirr 
0.6.0 (stable) but I can't seem to ssh in because I seem to have a fundamental 
misunderstanding about where the keypair information ends up.

My configuration (below) starts up fine modulo a frequent NPE : 

        malformed image: null
        java.lang.NullPointerException: architecture
                at 
com.google.common.base.Preconditions.checkNotNull(Preconditions.java:204)
                at org.jclouds.ec2.domain.Image.<init>(Image.java:81)
                at

                at 
com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.scanEndElement(XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.java:1782)
                etc...


I mosey on over to ~/.whirr/myapp and run hadoop-proxy.sh and from that point I 
can make hadoop calls.  

        hadoop dfs -ls /
                11/10/20 10:57:03 WARN conf.Configuration: DEPRECATED: 
hadoop-site.xml found in the classpath....  [SNIP] ...

        drwxrwxrwx   - hdfs supergroup          0 2011-10-20 10:47 /hadoop
        drwxrwxrwx   - hdfs supergroup          0 2011-10-20 10:46 /hbase
        drwxrwxrwx   - hdfs supergroup          0 2011-10-20 10:46 /mnt
        drwxrwxrwx   - hdfs supergroup          0 2011-10-20 10:46 /tmp
        drwxrwxrwx   - hdfs supergroup          0 2011-10-20 10:46 /user

So all is well.  But now I am confused.   AWS wants me to use a pem that was 
created, but I don't have that pem or any way to get it do I?

        ssh -i jclouds#Linernodes#us-east-1#74.pem

I have a pem that I built for this work and would be happy to use it, but it's 
not obvious to me how.   Any thoughts or pointers to docs would be greatly 
appreciated.

Thanks,


        Rick
