Steve,
Perhaps the attribute SWITCH_TO_PRODUCT_TAPE needs to be set to "yes" in the
bosinst.data file.
A diskette containing the bosinst.data file can be used during the restore
from CD.

Subject: 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
