On a separate note - this is a really annoying feature of AIX 5.2. Most
people only have the AIX media that ships with the machine. As a maintenance
level comes out - that renders the AIX CD's useless as you then can't
restore your mksysb to the same machine! Yes, you can around it by creating
a boot CD but I bet a lot of people will get caught out with this one!
