I hope I didn't get to this too late.  I can suggest contacting your
local IBM representative and asking for the "Flash" titled "Installation
Overview and Tips for AIX...".  It has a clear walk-through on making
bootable tapes and disks and other useful information.  It is rather
thorough (read: lengthy), so I did not want to just dump it here.
Furthermore, it is kept up to date as the system evolves.
