That reminds me of a bug I encountered some years ago when certain 5.2 modification levels "complained" about bootimage size. I am not sure that this is exactly the problem you describe but if you happen to use no current 5.2 ML you could update to the current 5.2 ML or try to install these APARs:
IBM - IY56839: SYSTEM BOOT HANGS WHEN BOOT IMAGE EXCEEDS 12M 04/06/10 PTF PECHANGE
and/or probably
IBM - IY64689: BOOT FAILS WITH LARGE BOOT IMAGE.
If that APAR does not apply or if updating the os is not an option you could uninstall some of the device drivers that you don't really use on the particular server. Compare the output of lsdev -C to lslpp -l |grep devices. There might be drivers for Graphics adapters, Token Ring, ATM adapters and CryptoCard for instance. Delete those unnecessary drivers with installp -u to shrink the bootimage size and run mksysb again.

Pretty penny's.
Just remember that mksysb and savevg are just front-ends for backup.
In other words, backups on AIX are organized by volume groups. mksysb is specialized for rootvg and savevg is used for other volume groups.
Ignoring that rootvg also creates files needed to boot a system... (1 Reply)

SYNOPSIS
$u1 = URI::URL->new($str, $base);
$u2 = $u1->abs;

This module is provided for backwards compatibility with modules that depend on the interface provided by the "URI::URL" class that used to
be distributed with the libwww-perl library.
The following differences compared to the "URI" class interface exist:
o The URI::URL module exports the url() function as an alternate constructor interface.
o The constructor takes an optional $base argument. The "URI::URL" class is a subclasses of "URI::WithBase".
o The URI::URL->newlocal class method is the same as URI::file->new_abs
o URI::URL::strict(1)
o $url->print_on method
o $url->crack method
o $url->full_path; same as ($uri->abs_path || "/")
o $url->netloc; same as $uri->authority
o $url->epath, $url->equery; same as $uri->path, $uri->query
o $url->path and $url->query pass unescaped strings.
o $url->path_components; same as $uri->path_segments (if you don't consider path segment parameters).
o $url->params and $url->eparams methods.
o $url->base method. See URI::WithBase.
o $url->abs and $url->rel have an optional $base argument. See URI::WithBase.
o $url->frag; same as $uri->fragment
o $url->keywords; same as $uri->query_keywords;
o $url->localpath with friends map to $uri->file
o $url->address and $url->encoded822addr; same as $uri->to for mailto URI.
o $url->groupart method for news URI.
o $url->article; same as $uri->message
