Never ran into that with a 3088, but I certainly did back with a 3705. We ended up having that Ctrlr on a channel switch which we had to disable when booting. Early during an HPO release (4.somethng IIRC), we even saw it interfere with a CP IPL until we worked with a Standalone Dump and Level

And of course if you're running 2nd level you can use CMS to forward spac e the tape to the appropriate location before you IPL it. It's faster and you won't see any IPL failure messages. Too bad CP only provides command to REWIND the tape to the load point and none to forward/backward

Ipling a HDR1 gives you an IPL Unit Error. That's most of what I see. There is one other ipl error message that you see once in a while, but any error comes back right away. If you really do hit something you want, there is no error message and then you start giving the program some attn
