Ough, my test was a bit too easy. I bet i f00 loadparm abcd would have done the same thing: the loadparm is ignored, and SYSTEM_CONSOLE is in the SYSTEM CONFIG, and is being used as not other console was found. And you didn't try LOADPRAM CONSSYSC One needs: SYSTEM RESET# SET MACH ESA#LINK MAINT 123 123 RR TERM CONMODE 3270 Q V CONS DEFINE xxxx yyyy where xxxx is the current console address, yyyy is a console from SYSTEM CONFIG clear your screen IPL 123 LOADPARM CONSSYSC --> if you get MORE immediately... CP is started and does not use SYSC --> if you remain in linemode, SYSC is used
