Scully, My parm file works whether I say parameters="dasd=200-209 root=/dev/dasda1" or parameters="200-209 root=/dev/dasda1" or parameters="200-209 root=LABEL=/" or parameters="dasd=200-209 root=LABEL=/"
Otherwise, the parm file looks the same. I do force a particular parm file with the -c option, i.e. /sbin/zipl -c /etc/zipl.conf when I run zipl.

I verified it with cat /proc/dasd/devices after the re-boot. Did you run zipl before the shutdown?

And when I add this string and rerun the zipl command it doesn't seem effective. How do you identify all the disks you want to use on this brand of Linux now? William P.
