The use of SYSG as the console device is both hardware and
software dependent. So you need both a SAPL utility that supports
SYSG, but also a processor. I think the hardware level set for SYSG is
maybe z/890 / z/990, so it's unlikely the box Roland is using supports
SYSG.
However, as others have said, you should certainly be able
to supply one of your valid 3174 addresses via the LOADPARM override to get the
system IPL'd.

In some z/VM release, new possibilities have been added in the area of console address override. I don't know which release, but it surely already work in z/VM 4.4
Here's a summary of what you now can do
- LOADPARM rdev --> starts SAPL on "rdev", there you can enter CONS=rdev to tell CP where to go
and load CP
- LOADPARM CONSrdev -> SAPL directly loads CP and passes CONS=rdev
As rdev one can also specify SYSG to indicate the "integrated 3270 CONSOLE", very easy but first you must drag a "3270 console" icon on the icon of the LPAR in which you want to load VM. Both SAPLand CP support this console (z/OS does not), so the LOADPARM can be SYSG or CONSSYSG
Similar, there is SYSC, the integrated linemode console, not supported by SAPL, so you can also enter LOADPARM CONSSYSC to directly load CP and instruct it to got to that linemode terminal.
