  Not sure what source was queried and reported that diagnostic, 
but that information seems in conflict with the data in the SRC list 
[System Reference Code list] at:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v6r1m0/topic/rzahb/rzahbsrclist.htm

B9xx xxxx 	Check for a specific B9xx SRC. If you do not see your 
SRC, it can mean an i5/OS® IPL failure. See Recovering from IPL or 
system failures.

  The above text has a hotlink to:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v6r1m0/topic/rzahb/rzahbiplprocedure.htm

  That suggests effectively that the problem needs to be reported.

  As well, in an alternate approach...

  Searching InfoCenter for 37FF finds:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v6r1m0/topic/rzahb/rzahbsrclist.htm

B900 3100 through B900 37FF
The reference codes in this range are displayed by the start 
operating system process. Go to Analyzing and handling problems . 
Take the appropriate recovery action.

  The above text has a hotlink to:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v6r1m0/topic/rzahb/rzahbpa0.htm

  This path leads back to the "Recovering from IPL or system 
failures" procedure found from the SRC list.

  I think my prior explanation as an IPL failure describing the 
condition is consistent with the above links noting that the SRC 
indicates an error in the Start Operating System; i.e. the Start 
CPF, or SCPF job.
