The sysres volume is the volume containing SYS1.NUCLEUS and that you IPL from .
I'm not sure whether it would be confusing or helpful to draw analogies with specific Linux directories, e.g., /bin, /sbin. There are other important volumes needed in the IPL process, e.g., IODF, master catalog, parmlib. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

But, I didn't see anything that helped. How would you define the "SYSRES volume"? I want to give a good definition to new system programmers.
