I IPLed as Kris suggested: Q V CONS#SYSTEM RESET#TERM CONMODE 3270 IPL 125B LOADPARM CONSnnnn
My cons was 0009. But it made no difference I put the commands in the OPERATOR directory but it made no difference. I put them in the 2d Level Machine directory, VMUVM, itself and it still made no difference. I suspect the problem may be that I am running 2d Level. z/OS has the IMSI (Initialization Message Suppression Indicator). Set it to "M" and you are off and running. z/OS IPLs without any operator intervention. I guess I am looking for something like that in z/VM, but it may not exist, at least not at Level 2. But I will try again next week.

George, the CP commands in the directory entry will certainly be executed "long" before CMS gets a chance to IPL and run it's own PROFILE EXEC file. Will the CP commands get executed before the OPERATOR's console fills up with IPL time messages, that I don't know.
