insert the aix installation cd (or use a nim server), start maintenance mode, choose access rootvg before filesystems are mounted

run fsck on all filesystems in rootvg, if not done automatically

type exit, then all filesystems will mount

run bootlist -m normal -o to see the boot device priority

change to your hdisk if not set

# bootlist -m normal hdisk0 hdisk1
for example

run bosboot -a ( or -a -d and specify your hdisk(s) with hd5 boot logical volume) on it

check /etc/filesystems, and reboot

thats a standard procedure I would do before doing excessive troubleshooting
