In order to reboot properly you must save the kernel image and kernel command line arguments into your IPL source. Log in to Linux and follow the appropriate instructions below.

If you have installed onto virtual disks and have no SCSI disks, use these two commands: 
/sbin/installkernel prep
/sbin/installcmdline prep

If you have both virtual and SCSI disks, and want to IPL from the PReP Boot partition on the first virtual disk, use these two commands: 
/sbin/installkernel prep 
/sbin/installcmdline prep

If you have SCSI disks (with or without virtual disks) and want to IPL from the A or B side, use these two commands: 
/sbin/installkernel a 
/sbin/installcmdline a
substituting b for the a argument in each command to install the kernel and command line on the B side.

NoteNote:
 

It may take a minute or longer for the /sbin/installkernel command to complete.
