    Try:
    - Insert the base installation AIX 5.2 cd in the drive

    then:

    # cfgmgr -i /dev/cd0

    Thanks.

    Re: MKSYSB problem : missing filesets

    I would guess that this is a new device, introduced after the version of
    the
    install CDs you have were cut.

    I can't really help you here, apart from to suggest you ask your supplier
    for a newer version of the AIX install CDs.

    I would be very interested to know if there is a good solution to this
    general type of problem, of being unable to find base-level filesets: it
    keeps cropping up.
