From Chapter 13 of the Backup and Recovery Manual:

3. Load the first SAVSTG tape in the tape unit that is your alternative 
IPL device.
4. Install the Licensed Internal Code by using the procedure that is 
described in “Task 2–Powering Down the System” on page 113 through “How to 
Load the Licensed Internal Code” on page 120. Select option 2 (Install 
Licensed Internal Code and Initialize System) from the Install Licensed 
Internal Code (LIC) display. When the procedure asks for SAVSYS media, use 
your SAVSTG tapes instead.

Sounds to me like you can boot from a SAVSTG tape then.
