Changing the /usr/lpp/sysback/netinst/boot/rc.boot script

Question:

Env:
  AIX 4.2
  RISC SP High Node
  sysback 4.1.1.5

Problem:
  Customer's cfgcon command is failing during the network boot.
  The led 511 622 then blank
  It took us several passes to determine this, since the 
  customer was not watching the leds closely.

  I think we should add this code to the 
  /usr/lpp/sysback/netinst/boot/rc.boot  script

  CHANGE THIS CODE
  ----------------

  \# Configure console
        cfgcon

  TO THIS CODE
  ------------

  \# Configure console
        cfgcon || loopled 0xb05

We should stick with using 0xb05, since that is what the tape 
boot runs in sysback and what we have documented in the Ver 4 
Sysback Manual.  Standard AIX booting for both tape and network
uses 0xA45 "C45" for the failure in the cfgcon command.

Fixed added in sysback 4.1.1.7  (4.1.0.1008)
