As Jim Salter and I pointed out in earlier responses, a method is
documented/outlines in the /usr/lpp/bos/bosadm document. Remember, as
IBM employees that just happen to be on the net, we are all speaking
for ourselves (rather than for the company, i.e. we are not official
support) and are prone to error.
