David, What are the arguments on the HMC (or from 1st level when IPLing a 2nd level system) when you IPL?
If you DO include an argument "LOADPARM dev_addr", then the SALIPL screen will appear, requiring F10 to load the system. If you DO NOT include the "LOADPARM dev_addr", an IPL should not display the SALIPL screen. Remember that when entering "CP SHUTDOWN REIPL", the loadparms used during the previous IPL are used again (display them with: CP Q IPLPARMS). With CP SHUTDOWN REIPL you can specify many of the parms that are available in SALIPL.
