nim problem/question

I'm using nim to upgrade a server from 5.2 to 5.3, using nim alternate
disk install and when the install
completes, I have some dependency failures so all of the filesets don't
get installed. The error indicates
missing requisites;

X11.base.lib
X11.base.rte
rsct.basic.rte

I can boot to 5.3, then run an update_all against the source, and it
finishes the upgrade. I'm wondering why the
filesets are not found during the nim install, but they are using
update_all. It requires a second reboot after
the update_all is ran and I'd like to eliminate this second boot if
possible.

After the nim install completes all phases, I also tried a wakeup of the
alternate disk on the client
(alt_disk_install -W hdisk1) and ran phase 2 there pointing at the same
source as I point at after the
reboot, and it doesn't find anything to update, saying its currently at
the same levels as the source.
A side question to this wakeup process - does it hurt to do this? I
would like to do a wakeup right before
my reboot to the new 5.3 disk to copy a few files into the alt
filesystems (/etc/password, etc.).

Thanks for any input.
