Hi Mark, please omit the OSAHWaddr! However, in that case booting the instsys will not run unattended anymore. When the setup routine asks for the MAC address, please leave it blank (press enter twice under z/VM) and the remainder should work.
By the way, it has been a good practice to limit the parmfile to 9 lines; maybe that this restriction is no more valid.
