Hanging on led 609 on a network boot

Question:

Env:
  AIX 4.2.1
  RISC 43p
  sysback 4.1.3.2

Problem:
  Customer do a network boot over the gateway and it hangs on 
  led 609

Action Taken:
  I put the network boot into debug mode and saw this:

  9.19.145.240 = 9.19.129.183

  BOOT_GATE_IP=0

It is failing on this code:

[ "$BOOT_GATE_IP" = "$BOOT_SERV_IP" -o "$BOOT_GATE_IP" = 0.0.0.0 ] && \\

BOOT_GATE_IP=0

Once I changed the code to be this:

[ "$BOOT_GATE_IP" = "$BOOT_SERV_IP" -o "$BOOT_GATE_IP" = 0.0.0.0 ] && BOOT_GATE_IP=0

And rebuilt the boot image again it worked.

It appears there were spaced after the slash at the end of the 
line, which for some reason causes the line to end. Therefore, 
the next line always gets executed. I removed the spaces after 
the backslash and it works ok. This will be in 
sysback.rte 4.1.3.3
