... as has been done to me on some RS/6000 restores.  In these cases, drives 
were added to AIX device locations that were numerically _before_ the device 
locations where hdisk0 was.  Then when restoring from the mksysb, old_hdisk0 
!= new_hdisk0.   *sigh*

Maybe there's a slick way around this (yeah, I know you can choose disks when 
starting the mksysb, but it gets difficult for multi-disk rootvg's)...
