Hi Folks,

I'm trying to build an IPLable RedHat 7.2 RC2 boot disk.  I've currently got
the entire system on a very large 150/dasda disk.  I've split /usr off onto
a r/o 152/dasdc disk and everything else that was on 150/dasda has been
copied to 15f/dasdp.

I mount dasdp as /mnt/temp and now I want to run zipl (the replacement for
silo) - but I can't figure out the parameters.  It seems like I should just
be able to execute:

zipl -c /etc/zipl.conf -d /dasd/dasdp1

according to the online --help.   But when I do this I get:

Option error:  You supplied both - image and dumpto parameters from
configuration file or command-line.  Please specify only one of these in one
job.

There doesn't seem to be an option to specify "do not use a configuration
file" and take the operands from the command line.

What is the exact command syntax to write the IPL records to /dev/dasdp1?

-Thanks in advance, sorry if this has been covered already.  I've looked
everywhere for detailed zipl command reference and usage notes and can find
practically nothing.
