We followed those instructions, using 2 partitions, and never had
trouble getting it to boot.

Are you trying to restore to the same machine you backed up from?
There is hardware information in the registry that may not be right if
you are trying to restore to a physically different machine.

We did have trouble restoring the "user profile" and IBM ADSM level 2
support worked with us on that.  If you can't get the restore to work
following the Red Book instructions, I would suggest putting in a
trouble call and letting them work on it
