-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                 Welcome to AIX.
                        boot image timestamp: 17:47 08/25
                  The current time and date: 03:44:47 08/26/2004
                 number of processors: 2 size of memory: 512Mb
boot device: /pci@fef00000/scsi@c/sd@9:2
