Can you let us know what kind of CD-RM you have?
from a working system in AIX, the output from the following command:
lscfg -vl cd0
if the system does not work, then check the drive and see if you can re
ad
the model number, FRU number and the microcode/firmware lefvel; Also,
what
kind of system do you have?

I think it has been mentioned, I know I did. Did you check the CDRM
microcode ? This is a known issue.

Well, here's where I am with this:
I was able to get an old version (4.3.2) installed with no issues
Whether I insert the 4.3.3 or the 5.1 CD, the system does not do
anything, it does not boot.
I went to IBM's site and downloaded and installed the microcode updat
es
for the Processor and firmware, but to no avail.
I can get into the the SMS menu to setup the boot list, and set it to
the CDRM, but for some reason, will not read my DISK 1 from either
version 4.3.3 or 5.1
Thanx
Mikemillion

Just type:
1)bootlist -m normal cd0 hdisk0 (in that case if for some reason th
e
CD fails
at least hdisk0 would boot up).
Then,
2) bootlist -m normal -o ( to verify if the boot sequence is set as
CDrom
and hdisk0)
3) When it starts booting make sure you go through the seletcion
sequence and
seletct make you correction option ( migration or installation)

you should wait until the LED in the f50 shows E1F1 and press F

key (if using a graphical terminal) or the 1 key (if text
