Yes, I'm having a real hard time with the virtual world.... but I'm
progressing... Thanks for all the help from everyone.

The simple answer is that, once your virtual machine is set up, everything
you¹re interested in are the virtual components; You no longer need to deal
with the ³real² devices.
In your virtual machine, all you get to see is the 12FF disk; the real DASD
it resides on doesn¹t exist in your virtual world. The same can be said for
your virtual NIC; you don¹t care what the real OSA card is at that point.
Your terminal? It¹s whatever the virtual machine¹s console address was
defined as. It doesn¹t matter what real terminal you¹re sitting at.
For DASD, you¹re going to label your minidisk, so you¹d use whatever label
you initialized with. It doesn¹t matter what the label of the real DASD is,
and you can use it, or some other label, based on your current needs.
You¹ve got to think ³virtually².
