Need to disable port S1 for CE to perform work; port remains busy!

ENV:  AIX 4.1.2

DESC:  Customer was having problems with his console on the S1 port, and
he swapped out some cables and equipment, but it would not fix the
problem.  He moved his console equipment to S3 port instead, and created
a new tty for it.  Now, a CE is on-site and would like to run a wrap on
port S1, but the port shows busy.  The "pdisable" command is not changing
the port status. 

ACT:  Had the customer enter "SMIT / System Environments / Assign the
Console", and change 'pathname of console' to another /dev/tty\#, since
the one listed was designated for port S1.  Also told the customer that
he will have to "shutdown -Fr" for the change to take effect.
