You should be fine, but I think you are masking a problem.

Nope, it's a new box we got back the first of
December. Came loaded with 4.3.3 ml09, I think. I'm
pretty sure the only bos filesets I've added/updated
are bos.adt* ones.

bos.mp is not loaded, so where did the unix_mp come
from?

So, if I go with the original plan from IBM, which is
link /unix and /usr/lib/boot/unix to /unix_up, then I
should be ok, right?
