I am having difficulty using the autoboot functionality present in 7.5.

I have set the AUTOBOOT flag to ON using ISL.That works fine.

I have created a file called AUTOBOOT.MPEXL.SYS. It contains the single line
"START NORECOVERY" followed by a LF.

Using SYSGEN, I executed

AA AUTOBOOT.MPEXL.SYS DISC

which, if I understand the documentation correctly, should have told the
system that, when booting from disc, use AUTOBOOT.MPEXL.SYS as the
autoexecute file when booting from a disc device.

However, when actually booting, ISL complains that it cannot find a valid
auto-execute file. Using LSAUTOFL also says it cannot find an auto-execute
file.

So what am I missing here?
