Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE SERVER 10 SP2 - ARCHITECTURE-SPECIFIC INFORMATION Supplementary Manual page 33

Transfer the files with a fixed block size of 80 characters. Specify it with the FTP
command locsite fix 80. It is important to copy VMRDR.IKR (the Linux kernel)
and INITRD (the installation image) as binary files, so use the binary transfer mode.
Creating a Start Script
It is convenient to write a small REXX script to IPL the Linux installation system. This
script loads the kernel, parmfile, and the initial RAM disk into the reader for IPL.
Example 2.5 SLES10 EXEC
XEDIT SLES10 EXEC
/**/
'close rdr'
'purge rdr all'
'spool punch * rdr'
'PUNCH SLES10 IMAGE A (NOH'
'PUNCH SLES10 PARM A (NOH'
'PUNCH SLES10 INITRD A (NOH'
'change rdr all keep nohold'
'ipl 00c clear'
Save the script with the command FILE.
Now you can IPL the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server installation system with the com-
mand SLES10. The Linux kernel then starts and prints its boot messages.
To continue the installation, proceed with
IPL from FCP-Attached SCSI DVD
To IPL in z/VM, prepare the SCSI IPL process by using the SET LOADDEV parameter:
SET LOADDEV PORTNAME 200400E8 00D74E00 LUN 00020000 00000000 BOOT
After setting the LOADDEV parameter with the appropriate values, IPL your FCP
adapter, for example:
IPL FC00
To continue the installation, proceed with
Section 2.5.1, "z/VM Installation"
