Here is a Re-post of an installation check list I've put together for those who don't want to use the Wizard.

Check the OS for the proper maintenance level
Create all groups and IDs (mqm, wmbadmin and db2 instance if this will be a full install)
Create the file systems for DB2, WMQ and WMB
Install DB2 (DB2 Run-Time Client V9.1 FP3)
Check DB2 for the proper maintenance level (fix 15 for DB2 8 (64bit). Or DB2 9 FP 3 64 bit))
Prereq xlC needs version 8.0.0.4 and above (DB2 V9)
Install WMQ (for Linux, please check for the proper order)
Apply maintenance to WMQ
Create the QMGR (check your parameters before creating the QMGR)
Check and update the mqs.ini and qm.ini files for correct and additional stanzas
Update the QMGR objects to the Company standard to secure it
Create the listener with the correct port (?)
Update the boot strap scripts to start and stop DB2 and WMQ (level 2)
Install all the WMB software (for AIX that is CM, Broker and UNS)
Apply maintenance to WMB
Configure the service ID's profile for WMB (wmb)
Update (cp /opt/IBM/mqsi/6.1/ODBC64/V5.2/odbc64.ini /var/mqsi/odbc/)
create the broker database
Test database connectivity and create/drop a table to verify
create the broker (check params)
create the CM (check params)
Update the /etc/config.conf file to write and roll the WMB runtime logs
Update the WMB logs directory to have the sticky bit for group ownership
Touch the WMB log file to create it with the correct ownership and permissions
Start the CM
Verify the CM log entries
Start the Broker
Verify the Broker log entries
create ACL - required for the Toolkit to connect
Connect a Toolkit to the CM -
/opt/ibm/MessageBrokersToolkit/6.1/eclipse/eclipse
com.ibm.etools.msgbroker.tooling.ide -DDomainAware=0
Create an execution group (optional)
IBM Installation Manager - update toolkit
Create a simple flow
Create any requirements of the simple flow (like queues)
Deploy the simple flow
Verify the deployment by checking the Broker runtime logs
Test the flow
Install Support Packs like the SaveQmgr

I've mix a couple of OS' here so you will need to sort out what applies to you. The maintenance levels and prereq's will have changed, so be sure you research the current ones (and prereq's for a dependent product could be higher).
