Default recovery tape mksysb form F50 to F30

Hi,

I try to recover the same O.S 4.3.2 from a RS/6000 f50 to RS/6000 f30.

I modified the parameter LOCATION in the stanza target_disk_data: from
/bosinst.data file. The LOCATION has now the F30īs disk.

For the recovery process, the F30 can't boot from tape. The F30 boot
from AIX 4.3.2 CD and then:

# Choose the Start Maintenance Mode for System Recovery option.
# Choose the Install from a System Backup option.
# Choose the drive containing the backup tape.

The recovery finish, but in the reboot the server can't boot from the
disk. Maybe the F50 is very diferent form F30.

How i can clone my f50 on my f30 server? Any suggestions?

I need install two items on the F30: An old aplication and Oracle 7.3.4
that run on F50. I don't have the CDs for install both in the F30

Thanks
