Fedora 15 at least will run on z/VM 5.4 on a z9. Haven't got around to trying a more recent version, but I expect it should work.

The fdasd command didn't come along until the 2.4 kernels, when the dasdfmt command learned to create CDL on ECKD and not just LDL. With the marist distribution, it would be dasd?1 only. As I recall, /dev/mnd? didn't use partitions at all. I think the OP needs to fast forward a few years to SLES 9 and RHEL 3 or so. If they can still be found to download.
