Symptoms:
	PHCO_21072:
	( SR: 8606125217 DTS: JAGac40608 )
	On a V-class, when the boot path is currently set to an
	invalid path, an attempt to set boot path to a new path
	will fail with the following message displayed

	WARNING: cannot PATH_LOOKUP PRIMARY_BOOT <invalid-boot-path>

Defect Description:
	PHCO_21072:
	( SR: 8606125217 DTS: JAGac40608 )
	Before setboot sets a new boot path, autoboot or autosearch
	flag, it will attempt to read the current boot path setting
	first.  If the reading of the current boot path results in
	an error (invalid boot path in this case), setboot will
	terminate abnormally without attempting to set the new
	setting.

	Resolution:
	Setboot will attempt to set the new setting regardless of
	the result of the current boot path setting.
