Boot on CD

ITEM: RTA000064711



I know it is possible to boot from a CD-ROM, but                                
    1) How do I make a CD-ROM bootable in AIX V3 ?                              
    2) How do I make a CD-ROM bootable in AIX V4 ?                              
(We often creates CD-ROMs for our customers by creating a tar-tape              
and sending it to a company that does the very CD-writing. Those                
CDs are of course not bootable, it would help us a lot of we could              
make those CDs bootable).                                                       
                                                                                
                                                                                
                                                                                
ANSWER                                                                          
Unfortunately, this is beyond the scope of this support center.  Normally       
the AIX operating system does not support this (either V3.2 or V4.1), and       
we do not have the facilities to test and research this item.                   
You can submit an ATSS item in RETAIN under the queue L3SYSX to submit
