ITEM: AK4274L

The current boot logical volume /dev/hd5 does not exist on hdisk4

Env:  
  AIX 4.1.2  RISC R30

Desc:
     Customer is unable to create a mksysb, he gets the following
     error message:
     The current boot logical volume /dev/hd5 does not exist on 
     /dev/hdisk4
 Action:  
   1.   lslv -hd5
        LP     PP1   PV1   
        0001  0001  hdisk0
    
   2.  ls -l /dev/ipldevice
       12,5 are the major and minor numbers for this device
       which are the same as hdisk4.  hdisk0 which is suppose to
       be the boot device has a major and minor number of 12,1.

   3.  cd /dev
       rm /dev/ipldevice
       mknod ipldevice c 12 1
       change the permissions on ipldevice to crw------
       bosboot -a -d /dev/hdisk0
       bootlist -m normal hdisk0

   4.  We then tried to create a mksysb from the command line and 
       received the same error message.

   5. bootlist -m normal -r 
      initially returned all zeros 

   6.  bootlist -m normal hdisk0

   7.  bootinfo -b
       shows that the system booted from hdisk4. 
    
       All the system needs to do now to fix the error messages is a 
       reboot so the bootinfo -b shows the system had booted now 
       from hdisk0 instead of hdisk4
