Default NIM SPOT not okay - missing network boot image

Hi all,

I'm running a NIM master on AIX5.3 and try to build a SPOT for AIX52-01
from a lpp source same level. It works fine during the whole building
process (I'm using smitty). But after - when I look at the new spot
with lsnim -l spot - I get a warning:
0042-157 c_ckspot: unable to access the
"...usr/./lpp/bosinst/image.template" file
and several "missing" lines with
missing = "network boot image"

I do not find any solution and have no idea whats wrong? This file
mentioned in the warning isn't really there. I can copy it from the
server, but that isn't so fine, I think, and afterwards doing a nim -o
check spot reveals the next missing file/directory.
I can do any other spots from other OS levels and Maint.levels. So I
don't think its the nim master.
Could it be the lpp source is somehow corrupted? Or incomplete? But the
Builing process itself finishes sucessfully.

Anybody any idea?
Thanx in advance,
Sandy.
