- I saw the same problem when I tried using an install/maint diskette
- created from a 3.2.0 machine with no fixes applied. I created a new
- install/maint diskette from a machine that had some 3.2.2 fixes and everything
- worked fine. I don't know which PTF fixes this problem but it must be
- in 3.2.2 somewhere. Does anybody know the PTF that fixed this problem?

- If you need to use this backup tape you can boot from some newly created
- floopies (or tape) and install your mksysb after it has booted and before
- you give it the final 'REINSTALL' command.
