Normally I just press enter for WARM. When I entered, or tried to enter, that, the keyboard on my emulator locked. With a little poking around, I found that I can't enter anything on the first screen. On the 2nd or subsequent screens, I have an input enabled input area. On the first screen, it's input inhibited. A little more poking around showed me that it only acts this way on a screen that *IS NOT *a model 2 screen. A mod-2 3270 emulator session works just fine. Before Chuckie or someone says that I should open a PMR, I have done that, PMR 28075. I am using Tom Brennan's, Vista emulator. I'll try it in the a.m. with another one or two emulators. In the meantime, however, I would be interested in hearing from someone who has the opportunity to ipl a 2nd level z/VM 5.4 or earlier while using an emulator screen that is not configured as a mod-2 3270. What I'd like to know is at ipl time, when you've got the first screen up with options of WARM FORCE SHUTDOWN or what ever, if you can key anything it. You don't have to enter it. 2nd and subsequent screens seem just fine.

The Guide for Automated Installation and Service says C, but it also says If your media is electronic, follow the instructions that were sent to you electronically.
