My understanding is that you can only network install a mksysb via
nim. I went around this with our local rep, wanting to know why ibm
forced the use of nim for network installs. My only exposure to it
was AIX admin class a long time ago, and that was enough to make me
decide to never use it. I asked him why they
didn't support network installs (both mksysb and initial loads) via
ftp or nfs. Life would be soooo much simpler . . . . .
