    I keep getting a LED0088 when I attempt to do a mksysb migration it appears to hang at "erasing disks". I have not really found anything helpful in google. This is the bosinst data file I created.

    control_flow:
    INSTALL_METHOD = migrate
    PROMPT = no
    EXISTING_SYSTEM_OVERWRITE = yes
    RECOVER_DEVICES = no
    MKSYSB_MIGRATION_DEVICE = network
    CONSOLE = Default

    target_disk_data:
    PVID =
    PHYSICAL_LOCATION =
    CONNECTION =
    LOCATION =
    SIZE_MB =
    HDISKNAME = hdisk1

    locale:
    BOSINST_LANG =
    CULTURAL_CONVENTION =
    MESSAGES =
    KEYBOARD =
    Am I missing something?

    The BOS menus do not currently support mksysb migration, so they cannot be loaded. In a traditional migration, if there are errors that can be fixed by prompting the user for information through the menus, the BOS menus are loaded. If such errors or problems are encountered during mksysb migration, the installation asserts and an error stating that the migration cannot continue displays. Depending on the error that caused the assertion, information specific to the error might be displayed. If the installation asserts, the LED shows "088".
