I did encounter some oddness with reading disk 9 during the last BOS install I did (I think the floppy drive is becoming flaky), but I did list the contents of the disk using the restore command and didn't see a 3com subdirectory (though I could've simply missed it, too).
The AIX 1.3 installer is a very odd beast. Regarding networking, if you don't have the adapter installed in your machine and properly set up with the appropriate ADF file, the installer usually won't bother to create and populate the appropriate directories. This is not very "IBM", but IBM had very little to do with the AIX 1.3 code.
