In `node_data/etc/environ, you'll find SYSTYPE and ENVIRONMENT defined.  This
is the resolution-path of the link /etc/environ.  In it, you should find the
following comments --
# This file (/etc/environ) is used to specify the default environment for a 
# node, as well as the default systype.  It is a link to `node_data/etc/environ.
# 
# A version of this file may be placed in a user's ~/.environ 
# and used to define the preferred environment and systype for that user
#
#    ENVIRONMENT  controls elements of the environment, except naming, and includes:
#                    setting of default key_defs
#                    setting of user's default shell when nothing is in the registry
#                    setting of default PATH
#               Valid settings are: aegis, bsd, sysv
#
#    SYSTYPE      controls name resolution.  A better name would be desirable
#                 but compatibility requires that we use SYSTYPE.
#               Valid settings are:  bsd4.3, sys5.3
#

Note that `node_data is /sys/node_data on disked machines, and is
//partner/sys/node_data.NODEID on diskless nodes (booted off //partner).
