Unable to configure console in maintenance mode

I had a problem with an F80 yesterday and needed to boot it into maintenance
mode.

However, when I tried to do this from CD the system got stuck with LED 0c45
- unable to configure the console. This was after various messages had been
displayed, and I'd pressed "5" to boot from CD. Also, I had previously been
logged on to the system with this terminal and I had successfully accessed
the SMS menus.

The console is an IBM 3153. The CD I used was AIX 4.3.3 volume 1, from
LCD4-0286-07, dated 09/2001. I'm positive that I booted this system from
either this version of the CD or an older one last year. I don't have a
newer version.

I successfully booted from a mksysb tape in the end.

Can anybody else with F80s and/or 3153 terminals let me know what version of
CD you're using?
