Thanks to Sam Sarasin, Stuart Davidson, Pirie Hart, and Tom Reu for
answers to my query. Pirie Hart gave me the information I needed:
I've still got a problem booting over the net, which I will detail in
a separate piece of mail (for filing convenience :-).
(The following applies to DU 3.2C. Your mileage may vary.)
[But actually it worked for 4.0A too. -j.]
The directory "/usr/.smdb." contains the subset files. Files with the
".lk" extension indicates the that the subset corresponding to the name
of the file, with the extension removed, is installed. The files with
".ctrl", ".inv", and ".scp" should be present for all subsets which you
have had the option to install.
The ".inv" file lists the files and directories that are included with
the subset. On my system, OSFRIS350.inv includes a line for your missing
file "/usr/var/adm/ris/bin/getname".
You should search all "*.inv" files for a reference to the appropriate
"getname" (i.e., "grep getname *.inv"). You may find several files
contain "getname". Once you have found the correct subset, reinstall it
using setld.
