Yes, if you are using device name in the fstab.
There are other parms available also, and I don't know what they will generate
in the zipl.conf and fstab files.
I was getting burnt by the defaults changing to device id, which really

No. If you do, your system won't boot. Just add 'dasd=addr1,addr2 to what is
there now.

When you say 'line editor' - that's exactly what you are forced to use..
for example sed.
You won't be able to use a 'fullscreen' editor unless you use an ascii
console.. vi/vim/nano are all fullscreen editors.

There are two places where the disk needs to be changed:
/etc/fstab
/etc/zipl.conf
The zipl.conf is used for booting and on the way up, the fstab is used.
linux63:/etc # cat /etc/fstab
/dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.0150-part1/ ext3
acl,user_xattr 1 1
I use sed and also use echo a lot too from the console.
Don't forget to use the to add to file :) else you then need to echo
in every line again.
I'm going to try the ex now that would be great.

Well, then, submit that to the vendor as a requirement.
After all, ed is the standard text editor.

pain w/r/t the Esc key. The 3270 driver honors the cursor positioning

Hello Tom,
since I have z/VM 5.4.0 running on our z9 I prefer to use the SYSASCII console.
SYSASCII is a JAVA emulation for a ASCII console. You can use VI editor to
change files, YAST to customize your linux
and Ctrl+C. I really like this possibility.
I do 'attach sysa to lx100', then start
