Just installed 7.1.4 on an AIX. Followed the install manual to the letter and everything worked out. The steps are (as memory indicates):

1. As root, create an ORA_MOUNT directory for mounting the CD with 777 chmod
2. As root, create an ORA_LINK directory with 777.
3. As root, mount -rv cdrfs /dev/cd0 /ORA_MOUNT (OK, I read the manual)
4. As oracle, go to ORA_MOUNT/orainst and run the start.sh script. Tell it to link to ORA_LINK (or whatever you called it).
5. go the the ORA_LINKI/orainst directory and proceed from there. Remember to do the rootpre.sh script before running orainst
