  ABOUT THE PROBLEM
 
       During a Preservation Installation or a restore from a
       mksysb, the device configuration may not be preserved.  This
       problem is caused by an array limit of 512 elements in
       /bin/ksh.
 
       This problem is resolved by APAR IX29813 and there is a fix
       available.  This fix has been available for quite a while
|      and is part of the 3.2.4 and 3.2.5 PMPs.  Fixes can be
|      ordered by specific fix number from 1-800-CALL-AIX.
 
       The following is a workaround for the array-limit problem.
