A
$ grep -p 607 /sbin/rc.boot
gives:
....
native_netboot_cfg [ $? -ne 0 ] && loopled 0x607 "IFCONFIG FAILED"
....

Posssible reasons according to this group ( search for - 608
ifconfig )
- Use a none-/usr spot
- For aix 4.3.3 nim client use a base AIX installations CD, build a
new spot and DO NOT update this spot with any fixes.
- Your configure the wrong interface in case you have more then one
network card installed on the nim client
- Use another network card and not the internal 10/100 Mb card -
reconfigure after installation.
