    what code do you get when you use sms to remove ALL but the cd from the bootlist? have you tried booting in maintenance mode? can you use the cdrom normally when booting from hdisk?

    Subject: Boot/install problem on H50

    I have an H50 here that I am trying to load AIX 4.3.3 on for testing the migration to 5.2 of our production DB. I cannot seem to get the system to boot/install from the AIX CD. I've double-checked the boot sequence in SMS and even done the install option from the SMS menus, but the system stops booting on a 0518 code on the LCD panel. Looking this code up, it suggests a problem was encountered doing a network boot, which is odd since I'm not doing a network boot.

    Any suggestions from the list would be helpful.

    thanks,
