There are only a couple types of Unix systems that provide bootable
recovery utlities to allow bare metal restores....one of the many
enhancements AIX made to basic unix functions was to add bootable
recovery via mksysb. Without this type of function (as is the
case with most brands of unix), you are left to reinstall the
o/s from cd or tape, reboot this base system, then start
some kind of full system restore (eg, with ADSM)...greg tevis
