As you can see from rc.boot, the system assumes that the primary paging
space in rootvg is hd6. But it isn't on your system; sometime in the past
someone has removed hd6, but has messed it up.
As a first step, you could try editing /sbin/rc.boot so that it activates
/dev/paging02 at startup. You'll need to reboot, of course.
Personally, I would prefer to remove paging02 and re-create hd6 in its
place.
Take a look in the System Management Guide, Chapter 7: Paging Space and
Virtual Memory. There's a section "Resizing or Moving the hd6 Paging
Space".
