"multibos" question
Having some problems booting off of my original "hd5" after booting off
"bos_hd5":
ibmsbx3 # bootlist -m normal -o
hdisk4
ibmsbx3 # bootlist -v -m normal hdisk4 blv=hd5
'ibm,max-boot-devices' = 0x5
Processing fcp device
Found fcp parent of fcp device
bootinfo partition nmbr = 3
boot list for device:
'/pci@400000000111/pci@2/fibre-channel@1/disk@5006048accc861ef,6000000000000:2'
Setting NVRAM variable:
(boot-device=/pci@400000000111/pci@2/fibre-channel@1/disk@5006048accc861ef,6000000000000:2)
Setting NVRAM variable: (boot-file=)
Setting NVRAM variable: (boot-command=boot)
Setting NVRAM variable:
(bootinfo-aix=/pci@400000000111/pci@2/fibre-channel@1/disk@5006048accc861ef,6000000000000:3)
Setting NVRAM variable: (ibm,aix-fc-bootinfo=)
ibmsbx3 # bootlist -m normal -o
hdisk4
*** should say ***
ibmsbx3 # bootlist -m normal -o
hdisk4 blv=hd5
When I reboot the machine (via "shutdown -Fr"), it boots off of
"bos_hd5" again...
Any thoughts?

as long as you are higher than TL3 (or I guess it was still called ML3
at that point), bootlist should show blv regardless of which image you
boot from. did you use multibos to install an older image, or did you
start with an older image perhaps?
