Actually, /env should be mounted, so you should be able to do "cd /env"
and look around. You need a TERM file whose contents is the terminal
type string. Watch out for one of your Windoze utilities putting ^Z's
or ^M's into your string when you put the install files in place.

Yes, /vsta/etc/rc is run by init.

There's a clue. I wonder if your changing mount positions around has
anything to do with it....

On thinking a bit more about it, I believe /env should simply be
there as a mount point, so you shouldn't have to screw with the extended
syntax for talking to a server who isn't mounted in your filename
space.

It's an old, old find(1)-like utility. You can find the source and a man
page down in the src/bin part of the distro.
