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.  ;-)
