Which model 7012 was it 530/550/580/590?
It should work from Toshiba CD's since the IBM used Toshiba's.
The one issue is that they classed the different AIX boxes
differently and some of them needed different CD's -- based on
system size and type.
I'm wondering if the CD was set for 512 byte sectors or 2048 byte
sectors?
Also, what SCSI ID did you use for the CDROM?
(a bit rusty at AIX -- but I used to run some 7012/550's, 580's and a
590.
BTW -- I don't think you can install AIX 4.x from anything other than
CD...
