How Do You Make Boot Disks for AIX 3.2?

This will require you to have four disks already formatted. To create the appropriate disks, you must do the following:

1. For the boot disk, run bosboot -d /dev/fd0 -a.

2. For the display disk, run mkdispdskt.

3. For the display extension disk, run mkextdskt.

4. And for the Install/Maintenance disk, run mkinstdskt.
