Need help with restoring mksysb from CD

Hi,

I am running aix 5.1 ML3 on a test machine, and I am testing restoring
mksysb's from CD (created with the mkcd command).

I am booting off a 5.1 install CD and then trying to use the restore
from mksysb function to do the restore.

Has anyone else done this? My problem is that I am not prompted to
change CD's to do the actual restore, so the restore fails.

This server happens to have two CD drives, and when I put the mksysb in
the second drive and select restore from cd1 this works fine. It is only
when I try to restore the image from the same cd that I booted from that
it fails.

Any input would be appreciated

steve
