Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
I also had played with the number of lines and upper/lower case values but didn't hit on the solution. After reading your note I compacted my parmfile lines, filling each out as close to 80 as I could. Changed my INST_INFO=SSH to uppercase and it works like a charm. Very nice.
Here's how mine turned out: ramdisk_size=65536 root=/dev/ram1 ro init=/linuxrc"" INST_SCREEN=SSH AUTOINSTALL=yes IP_INTERFACE=ctc IP_ADDR=128.123.3.106 READ_DEVNO=2050 IP_HOST=WINCHESTER.NMSU.EDU IP_GATEWAY=128.123.3.1 WRITE_DEVNO=2051 IP_DNS=128.123.3.5 IP_PEER=128.123.3.2 INST_INFO=ftp IP_MTU=1492 PROTOCOL=0 FTPUSER=tazzer FTPPASSWORD=zabeth19 INST_PASSWORD=sitedin
INST_IP_DIR=/CDROM DASD_Parameter=dasd=200 INST_IP_ADDR=128.123.194.106
Thanks again for sharing,
Scott

Replying to myself!
OK, some more playing with it and I got it to work. I think there's a bug here still. I rearranged the order of things and squished the number of lines down and ended up with this whiched worked. I suspect the number of lines and/or number of characters passed were causing the last parms to get missed.
