mirrored rootvg will not let him install ptfs

Question:


   Env: AIX 3.2.5

   Desc: Jesse is trying to install PTFs, but he receives the
        error message:

        The current boot logical volume, /dev/hd5, does not exist
        on the hdisk1.
           Action: The problem is occurring because he must have booted 
        off hdisk1 instead of hdisk0.  Normally when one mirrors
        rootvg, they create a mirrored copy of hd5 (usually called
        hd51 or the like) on the other hard disk.  We checked using 
        lslv -m hd5 to see that hd5 was located on hdisk0, and also
        checked that hd5x was on hdisk1.  We rebooted and ran 
        bootinfo -b and was that he booted off of hdisk0 so we 
        knew we wouldn't have that problem again.  He tried to 
        install the PTF again and it was successful.

   Next Action: Closing item.
