Judging from the data found in the bugtracker, this sounds more like a 
setup problem:

DF shows that /dev/dasda1 is >5G while a dasd with 125 cylinder should be 
around 80-90MB.

Example for a correct setup:

/dev/dasda1             mount as /boot  device number 1000
/dev/dasdb1             mount as /              device number 1001

-> 

Kernel command line: dasd=1000-1001 root=/dev/dasdb1

/etc/fstab contents:

/dev/dasda1             /boot
/dev/dasdb1             /
