    The output that specifies blv=hd5 is because AIX now allows more than one boot image on the disk.
    (look up multibos in man pages). So, you could have root and a root clone on hdisk0 at the same time.
    If the system detects you have both, it will require you to specify the "blv=" parameter when you
    change the bootlist. If you only have one boot image, you would just specify hdisk0 on your bootlist command and the system will default it to blv=hd5.
    I'm assuming the output you showed that does not have blv=hd5 specified is from an older system.
