The original poster already tried that.
The problem is that an AIX installation CD produced in, say, June 2004 won't
have drivers for a device which was only available in October. A newer copy
of the CD probably will, and the device CDs supplied with the device
obviously will.
If you don't have either of those things it can be difficult as the
base-level filesets aren't available anywhere on-line.
In this case, the mksysb is calling for various device filesets which it
will use to create the boot image, so that the CD can be booted on whatever
machine is required.

Surely there *must* be somewhere on the Internet where base-level device
filesets at least can be downloaded?

Try:
- Insert the base installation AIX 5.2 cd in the drive
then:
# cfgmgr -i /dev/cd0

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for a newer version of the AIX install CDs.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.
