Stephen,

From your error I can tell that your last boot was done using "start
recovery". This causes the default configuration group to be BOOTUP.SYS,
instead of the normal CONFIG.SYS. BOOTUP.SYS is a special configuration
group that save your configuration as of the last START NORECOVERY, and is
write protected once the system is up and running. IOCONFIG should have made
the changes to the running system, but could not save the changes to the
BOOTUP.SYS configuration group. What you need to do is to go into SYSGEN,
change the base group to CONFIG and make the changes again, otherwise the
next time you boot the system up, you will lose the changes you made. You
will even lose the changes if you boot with a START RECOVERY, because the
changes could not be written to the BOOTUP.SYS configuration, and that is
the one that the system will use with a START RECOVERY.
