The solution was provided by danny@CS.HUJI.AC.IL from the bind@uunet.uu.net
list.
My error was in /etc/bootparams. I had
rover root=boothost.trib.com:/export/root/rover\
swap=boothost.trib.com:/export/swap/rover
instead of:
rover.trib.com root=boothost.trib.com:/export/root/rover\
swap=boothost.trib.com:/export/swap/rover
*All* hosts needed to be fully qualified. Dumb me. Other than that the switch
to BIND 4.9.3BETA17 and related shared libs went very smoothly.
