Hi all,
I am trying to install AIX 5.1 on RS 6000 (43P model 150). I have 5 CDs and
machine and i do not know anything about AIX and RS 6000. i do not know if
RS 6000 supports booting from CDs and if those CDs are botable. Is there any
one having experience in this field? Can someone direct me to usefull
resources for person like me who is begineer?

regards,
Jagdip

Will the machine boot already? Do you have a service key?
If it is running, as root enter 'bootlist -m normal cd0 hdisk0' and reboot.
If you have the key switch to service mode and reboot.
Either way, put the cdrom in the drive and follow the prompts.

a 43P-150 doesn't have a service key.
insert the first CD, re-power the system, when the screen shows signs of
life, press F1 and proceed.

(assuming you have a graphics card, keyboard and monitor, of course)
