In Dec 2009 & Jan 2010 I was creating some standalone IPL'able code a nd needed to retrieve the Loadparm. A Google search turned up a Linux "multiboot" patch written by Lucias Leland and announced on the linux-390 list in Mar 2003. The site he posted the source on has gone 404, but it may be available elsewhere. In any case, I was able to use his example and grab the loadparm from my standalone code. Brian Nielsen
