It helps to read the screen -- oh, still no go -- but updated!
Need to run the command ybin to update "something". I missed that bit of
feedback firsttime.
For comparison: when AIX boots it lists the device as:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to AIX.
boot image timestamp: 21:32:26 03/20/2013
The current time and date: 21:33:39 03/20/2013
processor count: 1; memory size: 1024MB; kernel size: 36257707
boot device: /vdevice/v-scsi@30000002/disk@8100000000000000:2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The boot device on AIX is hd5, which is minor device 1
"/" is hd4, and is minor device 4 (minor device 2 is hd6, minor device 3 is
hd8)
During the install I took the simple partition model:

=============
Well, a step forward.
Is there an argument I could have tried giving to ybin to update the info
in the config file?
And, I had also tried the same AIX like device string with the squeeze, did
not work.
And, I hope this helps!
