Why not just create an AIX (or Linux) partition and put just base

AIX/Linux on it.
1 - Because they're >2 hours away and the flash is only holding IBM i.
2 - When I get there next I don't want to sit around and wait for disk
initialization. I want to unplug, unrack and go.
3 - IDK jack... about AIX/VIOS and initializing disk.
I guess the real challenge would be to figure out how to load VIOS or AIX
from HMC and go.
