Installation with YaST
After your hardware has been prepared for the installation of SUSE Linux Enterprise®
as described in the Architecture-Specific Information manual and after the connection
with the installation system has been established, you are presented with the interface
of SUSE Linux Enterprise's system assistant YaST. YaST guides 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 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 es-
tablished 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 information in Appendix A, Appendix (↑Architecture-
Specific Information)).
TIP: IBM System z: The Next Steps
To install, follow the description of the installation procedure with YaST starting
from
Section 3.4, "Language"
(page 21).
