if I couldn't IPL. Something is waiting in the wings, I fear...
You can try the basic IPL process under VM (somrething I regulary do)
- Logon to a CLASS G user, it needs to be able to LINK to MAINT 123,
(MAINT 123 is normally a fullpack overlay on your resident)
- SYSTEM RESET
- SET MACHINE ESA
- DEF STOR 32M (or more)
- Q V DASD and DETACH them all, or at least the R/W minidisks)
- LINK MAINT 123 123 RR (be sure to have the RR, we surel
do not want to be able to write to the resident)
- TERM CONMODE 3270
- Q V CONS (find the address of your console)
- IPL 123 LOADPARM CONSxxxx
==> now you should see VM starting up. it will start failing when it tries
to write to its resident (what we made impossible)
