I need some help here...

I have a Bull Escala T, and wish to install AIX 5.2. The AIX 5.2 media is
from IBM.

I insert CD 1 of 7 in the CDROM. The CDROM is in the Service bootlist.

I boot the server into service mode, the CDROM light flashes, but the system
fails to boot off the CDROM. I receive a "... ERROR: Load failed on this
device, trying next boot device..."

Can someone suggest what the problem might be.

Thanks very much,

Jimbo.

Is that machine CHRP? If not, 5.2 won't run on it. 5.2 removed support
for the older MCA and PREP boxes.
