Just be *certain* that your last boot was a 'start norecovery' and your
next boot will be a 'start norecovery'.  Using the defaults of IOCONFIG
will try to save your changes to the BOOTUP group, and that will fail
if your last boot was a simple 'start'.  You can workaround this by
using SYSGEN/DOIONOW and setting your basegroup to CONFIG before you
save changes.

If you typically use 'start norecovery' you should have no problems.
