    Hi,

    I've got a server running AIX 4.2 (I know, too old) and I want 'hdisk2' to
    be a bootable disk (hdisk2 is incorporated in rootvg and have the boot
    logical volume 'hd5' defined on it).
    I have successfully done these commands :

    # bosboot -a -d /dev/hdisk2
    # bootlist -m normal hdisk2

    and to verify that hdisk2 is now bootable :

    # bootinfo -B hdisk2

    But "bootinfo -B hdisk2" returns the code "0" which means (according to
    manpage) that this
    disk is not bootable.

    Do you know if informations gathered by this command are not "refreshed"
    by the command 'bosboot' or if there is a mistake in my strategy ?

    Thanks in advance.
