That looks like an IBM style error message to me - Linux does not tend to go in for message numbers. I would guess that what you need to do is boot from the CD rather than Load from it. You may find the best thing to do is to ask on the Linux-390 list ( linux-...@vm.marist.edu ) as that is where most of the Linux 390 experts are to be found.
