Installation with YaST
After your hardware has been prepared for the installation of SUSE Linux Enterprise
Server as described in the Architecture-Specific Information manual and after the con-
nection with the installation system has been established, you are presented with the
interface of SUSE Linux Enterprise's system assistant YaST. YaST takes care of all
the following steps to set up the system, guiding you through the entire installation and
configuration procedure.
3.1 IBM System z: System Start-Up for
Installation
For IBM System z platforms, the system is initialized (IPL) as described in the Archi-
tecture-Specific Information manual. SUSE Linux Enterprise Server does not show a
splash screen on these systems. During the installation, load the kernel, initrd, and
parmfile manually. YaST starts with its installation screen as soon as a connection has
been established to the installation system via VNC, X, or SSH. Because there is no
splash screen, kernel or boot parameters cannot be entered on screen, but must be
specified in a parmfile (see the parmfile chapter in the Architecture-Specific Information
manual for a description).
TIP: IBM System z: The Next Steps
To install, follow the description of the installation procedure with YaST starting
from
Section 3.4, "Language Selection"
(page 40).
