Jim,
when installing in an LPAR, the installer should ask you for additional
boot parameters:

Enter additional kernel command line parameter (end with ctrl-d or .)
>

This is where you need to specify the installation source
(inst.repo=...) and configure networking in case of http/ftp/nfs
installation source - parameters rd.znet=, ip= (and nameserver=). You
can also specify your dasd or zfcp disks. For example:

inst.repo=https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/29/Server/s390x/os/
rd.znet=qeth,0.0.0900,0.0.0901,0.0.0902,layer2=0,portno=0
ip=192.168.1.100::192.168.1.1:24:test.example.com:enc900:none
nameserver=192.168.1.1
rd.dasd=0.0.290b
.

You can use RHEL-7 installation guide [1] for more details and examples.
Please be aware that RHEL-7 and Fedora use slightly different names of
network devices, see [2] and my example above.

1st time trying to install Fedora and I am doing this in an LPAR (not under
z/VM). I am booting the .iso from the HMC using FTP. The install stops
after getting the message: "Warning: /dev/ram0 does not exist".Any
suggestions from the list as to what I am doing wrong? I am following the
instructions in the RHEL 7.5 doc (which is what the Fedora site pointed me
to).
