I don't believe that my node was found.  But then again, I never told
the Cluster what my nodes IP address(Or MAC Address) was, so how could
it know how to address it?  During the Cluster installation, I
specified some Virtual IP Addresses that will be used(Step 26 of
UEC-001), but nothing specific to a node.  Should the be a step in
UEC-003 to do something like: sudo euca_conf -addnode
IP_ADDRESS_OF_NODE ? The following is the output from that command:

Yes :-) So the euca_conf -addnode command I mentioned earlier would
have probably failed anyway.

I answer yes to both those questions ;-)  I have four network
interfaces(But the installer only lets me specify one).  I specified a
static IP address for eth0.
It does look like the description for bug 446023.

Yes, I will do this.  But I think I'll have to manually write down the
contents of the interfaces file from the console and then type it back
in, since there's no network access ;-)  I'll have to do this on
Monday when I have physical access to the machine again.

Thanks for the feedback.
