Make sure system will boot

1. bosboot -ad /dev/hdisk5

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
crw-rw—- 1 root system 10, 0 Jan 11 2006 IPL_rootvg
crw-rw—- 2 root system 10, 1 Apr 23 13:02 ipl_blv
crw——- 2 root system 20, 6 Apr 23 12:19 ipldevice

root@nad0019aixd09/dev> ipl_varyon -i
