bosboot: Boot image is 22995 512 byte blocks.

My mksysb scripts gives the following text on standard error:
bosboot: Boot image is 22995 512 byte blocks.

How come on a Aix 5200-07 aix-system.

I thought this message meant that the tape (/dev/rmt0) is not bootable,
but I read about a limit of 12 MB and 22995 block is less than 12 MB

Or is something else the problem?
By the way, this errors goes on 3 of our machines:

7026-H50
P660
P660

NAME
showfdmn - Display attributes of an AdvFS file domain SYNOPSIS
/sbin/showfdmn [-k] domain OPTIONS
Displays the total number of blocks and the number of free blocks in terms of 1K blocks. OPERANDS
Specifies the name of an existing AdvFS file domain. DESCRIPTION
The showfdmn command displays the attributes of a file domain and detailed information about each volume in the file domain. The command displays the following file domain attributes: Id A unique number (in hexadecimal format) that identifies a file domain. Date Created The day, month, and time that a file domain was created. LogPgs The number of 8-kilobyte pages in the transaction log of the specified file domain. Version An internal-use-only version number for the AdvFS on-disk data structures. This number is not related to the version number of the base operating system. Domain Name The name of the file domain. The command also displays the following volume information: Vol The volume number within the file domain. An L next to the number indicates that the volume contains the transaction log. 512-Blks The size of the volume in 512-byte blocks. 1K-Blks The size of the volume in 1K blocks. Free The number of blocks in a volume that are available for use. % Used The percent of volume space that is currently allocated to files or metadata. Cmode The I/O consolidation mode. The default mode is on. Rblks The maximum number of 512-byte blocks read from the volume at one time. Wblks The maximum number of 512-byte blocks written to the volume at one time. Vol Name The name of the special device file for the volume. For multi-volume file domains, the showfdmn command also displays the total volume size, total number of free blocks, and the total percent of volume space currently allocated. RESTRICTIONS
A file domain must be active before the showfdmn command can display volume information. A file domain is active when at least one fileset in the file domain is mounted. EXAMPLES
The following example displays domain information for the usr_domain file domain: % showfdmn usr_domain Id Date Created LogPgs Version Domain Name 2b5361ba.000791be Tue Jan 12 16:26 1999 256 4 usr_domain Vol 512-Blks Free % Used Cmode Rblks Wblks Vol Name 1L 820164 351580 57% on 256 256 /dev/disk/dsk0d To display information on all file domains on a system, enter the following sequence of commands: % cd /etc/fdmns % showfdmn * SEE ALSO
