root@nad0019aixd09/dev> bootlist -m normal -o
hdisk5 blv=hd5


bootlist -m normal -o

ln rhdisk5 ipldevice   ( use ln to create a copy of the raw devices if necessary)

These need to all exist and point to rootvg, rhd5, and rhdiskX ( being whereever the boot image is):

root@nad0019aixd09/dev> ls -l | grep -i ipl
