I just completed testing ADSM V2 for AIX and hit the same problem with the
single 8mm I had for testing.  The mt0 would not come available without
manual definition.  We never had this with ADSM 1.2.9.  Is this a known
problem, feature, etc.  This is a significant problem that must be resolved
before production.  I was testing at AIX 3.2.5 and ADSM/6000 2.1.7.

APAR IC12070 partially addresses this concern, but implies this only needs
to be done once, not at every boot.
