Can you create a ML06 NIM image and boot from it?

Hi all,

I'm kind of in a spot due to a vendor's application. I need a set of
CD's for AIX 5.2 - specifically the Maintenance Level 06. Now, not the
CD w/ the Maintenance Level, but the fully integrated BASE + ML CD's...
I have the 5200-01, 5200-04, 5200-07, and 5200-08 sets of CD's, but not
the 5200-06 set.

We (painfully) migrated from 4330-11 to 5200-06 this past weekend.
Well, I migrated w/ the 5200-04 set of CD's, then ran the update for
5200-06 w/ the Tar files. We had a two problems that both require the
Disaster Recovery Method by booting from the exact same level of CD's as
the system is loaded. First, I had a corrupt bootimage after we
mirrored the rootvg. Then, when we finally got rebuilt again - the
mksysb reported that the bootimage was too large. I guess this is a
known bug w/ AIX 5.2, and the workaround is to boot to the CD's to use
the mksysb tape.

So, my question is... Does anyone out there have a spare set of AIX
5200-06 CD's they could part with or possibly burn a set of CD's? I
don't believe the ML06 is listed on the CD label, but the date on the
Install CD's should be 05/2005.

Thanks,

Troy
