Greetings; You probably have devfs enabled in your kernel. I think that is the default in 2.4.19 and probably earlier too.
You can either rebuild your kernel and disable/turn off devfs or change your parmfile in /boot to something like root=/dev/dasd/0100/part1 ro noinitrd dasd=0100-010f,200-20f,300-30f and rerun zipl. You will also have to change any dev addresses in your fstab etc. that are the old /dev/dasda1 notation. It is a bit of a pain to make the conversion, but I personally like the devfs notation better. Good Luck!
