You won't, unless your system was originally purchased with 4.0.1
on it.  Contact the TAC or your sales folks for more info, this was
beat to death for weeks on end almost exactly 1 year ago on comp.sys.sgi.

You can't install the maint image if you don't have the base system.
It wasn't an oversight.
