Mark, if you have VM it is easy but without it, that makes it difficult. The first Redbook "Linux for S/390" has chapter 6 dedicated to VM and its set up, the second Redbook "Linux for zSeries and S/390: Distributions" covers this in chapter 3.
I'm guessing but I don't think you have VM and you are trying to avoid HMC access issues. Until you have installed Linux and set up an IPL volume, I can't see any way around it. After you've done this it might be possible to direct the var/log/messages file automatically to a 3270 device but I don't know how. Basically you want to know when Linux is up and you can login, right? Regards, Craig +61-2-9354-7283 tel +61-2-9354-7797 fax Craig Vernon B.App.Sc. LL.B.

Is it possible to use a 3270 terminal as the console instead of the HMC, for the boot messages? If so where would I find information/instructions?
