Ok so I'm sure many have been wondering what happened with the z890.
I have after many road blocks I have gotten the FCP SCSI storage working
and actually did complete an install of CentOS 4.7 on it last night!
But the new problem is IPLing said install. I would be-able to directly
IPL from SCSI if I had Feature Code FC 9904, which I do not.
This was supposedly a free Feature Code back in the day but was only
available till Dec. 31, 2007.
So if anyone has FC 9904 and is able to send me a copy (If that's how
that works? I assume this is loaded into the system via floppy.) it
would make my life a million times easier :)
Otherwise I will have to find a way to mount the drives in an installer
and boot with the installer.
Which I have yet to find a way to do this, any documented way anyway, I
will have to play with it.
This should be last step to have Linux running!
So hopefully someone can get me a copy of FC 9904 or I can find some
other way to IPL.
