According to Redhat's documentation it should be possible to ipl the install dvd in RESCUE mode. However when I try it seems to go into install mode, asking me for my ctc addresses:
22:12:53 Starting the zSeries initrd to configure networking. Version is 1.1 22:12:55 Which kind of network device do you intend to use 22:12:55 (e.g. ctc, iucv, qeth, lcs). 22:12:55 Enter 'qeth' for OSA-Express Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet 22:12:55 (including 1000Base-T), High Speed Token Ring, and ATM 22:12:55 (running Ethernet LAN emulation) features in QDIO mode. 22:12:55 Enter 'lcs' for OSA 2 Ethernet/Token Ring, OSA-Express Fast Ethernet in 22:12:55 non-QDIO mode, OSA-Express High Speed Token Ring in non-QDIO mode and 22:12:55 Gigabit Ethernet in non-QDIO mode. It has confirmed: 22:10:47 Kernel command line: root=/dev/ram0 ro ip=off ramdisk_size=40000 rescue So I'm assuming that its happy with my ins file: * minimal lpar ins file g:/images/kernel.img 0x00000000 g:/images/initrd.img 0x00800000 D:/zcentos/rescue/rescue.prm 0x00010480 and prm: root=/dev/ram0 ro ip=off ramdisk_size=40000 rescue (If its relevant I have detached my disks as I don't want them to be accidentally written to.) Anyone know how to boot this in RESCUE mode? ian ... Ian S.
