I saw this on our ADSM Servers.  The way I fixed it was after I had configured
the ADSM devices I rebuilt the boot record to add the mt? devices to it.
  bosboot -a -d /dev/ipldevices

You might want to try this.  This was memtioned in the ADSM 1.2 install manual
but not memtioned in the ADSM 2.1 version.

Hope this helps.
