Can't alter bootlist

Made a sysback tape backup on our 595 running 4.1.5 but when trying to do a restore discovered that rmt0 not in bootlist(s).

Tried to alter both the normal and service bootlists but system wont respond to F7(commit).

Erased the service boolist then tried alter again, same result. Now have an empty service mode bootlist. Any special tricks to get this old microchannel box back on track?
