[rescue] Picked up an IBM / Tadpole RS6000/N40, xinit hangs system.

Another option is to generate the set of bootable BOS diskettes and then see
if the CD-ROM can be installed from that. AIX requires the 512 byte block
CD-ROM drives just like Solaris. You can also check to see if your SCSI CD-ROM
is set for 512 byte blocks.
