AIX, boot device when installing a VIOS

I created a VIOS Lpar.  I also assigned the IO tab in the profile as follows:

U78AE.001.FB10005-P1-C18-L1   Ethernet controller   Required   512
U78AE.001.FB10005-P1-T2       PCI-E SAS Controller  Required   515
U78AE.001.FB10005-P1-T1       PCI-to-PCI bridge     Required   517
U78AE.001.FB10005-P1-C18-L2   Ethernet controller              528

Open in new window


SO I power up the VIOS, get to SMS, and go to the path  

5. Boot Options
1 Select Install Boot Device
7 List All Devices

Open in new window


Once I get to that screen, I see the following

 Select Device

Is there a way to determine if it can not see the device itself vs not reading the CD/DVD in the drive >
