I'm going from V4R3 to V4R5 and the instructions say that the alternate IPL 
device (OPT01) must be on a different bus than the normal IPL device (tap01) so 
I get a tape not ready error B1xx 4507. 

How can I make opt01 the alternate IPL device.

I tried DST but no alt IPL device is selected.

I tried to find the config alt IPL device to no avail.

someone said just put a blank tape in and the CD in and after the tape fails 
the AS400 will find the CD.

Huh?
