I have found having ICKDSF on the PARM disk to be very helpful when I suddenly found myself without a PAGE disk. I did an IPL from the VM res pack selected the ICKDSF module from the PARM disk, formated a PAGE disk, did a second IPL from the VM res pack this time selecting the CP module and VM c

First thing you have to do is IPL your sysres volume with a LOADPARM of a console address. This brings up the StandAlone IPL program which allows a selection of modules, a specification of configuration files, system cons ole address etc. Then it is PF9, highlight the module you wish to IPL and t

I like your thinking. I do the same except I also have tapes with just ICKDSF on them. During an emergency you never want to go looking for a copy of ICKDSF. Or try to remember where you put it. So, put it everywhere. :) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: My away kit has two copies of an IPLable tape, f
