Can't Create a network boot image with sysback Ver 3.2.1.20

Env:
  AIX 3.2.5
  sysback 3.2.1.20

Desc:  
   Customer does this:
   smitty sysback
     Network Install Services
       Configure/Update a Network Boot Image ethernet  
         Chooses  token-ring

       It failes with this error message:
       Invalid network device specified!

Action:
  I put a set -x in the /usr/sbin/mksbnetboot script
  Found out on line 147

  \# Set device to hardware name used by bosboot
case "$DEVICE" in
   token-ring)          DEVICE=/dev/tr0;;
   ethernet)            DEVICE=/dev/ent0;;
   tok*|ent*|fd*|rfd*)  DEVICE=/dev/$DEVICE;;
esac

I changed that section to this:

 \# Set device to hardware name used by bosboot
case "$DEVICE" in
   token-ring)          DEVICE=/dev/tok0;;   \#CHANGED THIS LINE
   ethernet)            DEVICE=/dev/ent0;;
   tok*|ent*|fd*|rfd*)  DEVICE=/dev/$DEVICE;;
esac

That fixed the problem

Next Action:
  Passing information on bug to the developer to fix
