You do not have to use CMS. IPL commands will work just like loading from the HMC.
IPL 181 Read VOL1 label; Get a message IPL 181 Read HDR1; Get a message IPL 181 Read HDR2 and get a message IPL 181 Cross the tape mark and get a message IPL 181 And you are there If your tape just has a VOL1 without the HDR records, you shorten the process by 2 IPL commands.

If you're logged onto a userid = that doesn't normally have access to CMS (ex. a z/OS guest) there is extr= a work to do to get CMS running (such as linking the MAINT 190 disk) just t= o position the tape. If the z/OS guest already uses address 190 it's even = more extra work. (Not to mention the error messages when you IPL CMS if = you don't also have a 191 or 19E disk.) CP provides only a REWIND command. How hard would a FSF/BSF type command= be?
