That sounds like what my problem is. I did not install the "K" set. Are there any other sets that must be installed? *** So, is it correct that when I IPL Slack/390 after the install, it will not be accessible from the network, and will have to change the network settings from the HMC? *** I ended up giving up on the CD and IPLing from tape.

This is due to a bug/undocumented requirement in Slack/390 10.0. If you didn't select the s390-tools package (in the K series) to be installed, this is what happens. You can re-run the install and make sure it includes that package. I would recommend, however, that you use what's in Slack390-current on the download server. More up to date, etc. Just be aware that there's another lack in the both installers. The network information you supply during the install doesn't get propagated to the system being installed. You'll need to enter that information manually, later. Getting time to fix that has been what's holding up renaming -current to -10.1. :( I was going to respond to your prior note about the installing seeming to hang after "finding" the initrd. What happened to get you past that?
