Change your bootlist so that cd0 appears before your bootable disks.
Example:
bootlist -m normal cd0 hdisk0 hdisk1
bootlist -m service cd0 rmt0 hdisk0 hdisk1
Setting the normal and service mode bootlists as shown above will result in
the system checking the cdrom drive first for a bootable cd, then trying the
next device in the series if it doesn't find a bootable cd.

Subject: Boot from CD
This a little off topic since it's an AIX question but I'm sure with the
knowledge out there it can be answered. How do I get an M80 to boot from the
AIX CD instead of the disk. Inserting the CD and starting after a complete
shutdown obviously doesn't work. I'd like to do some playing around before I
have to go into production and wiping and installing is one of the things
I'd like to do.
Thanks for the help....
