Example:
CHANDEV=ctc0,0x600,0x601
and write channel connections can be physically swapped.
Note
When setting the parameters, you must either set both or neither of the parameters (
). These values are necessary for proper boot loader configuration, therefore exactly the
CHANDEV
same values have to be given for both parameters.
The following parameter for installations using a qeth device is optional:
• QETHPARM=
Use this option to specify additional parameters for your QETH device (for CHANDEV) such as:
