This goes long fine but ends with a message cant find /dev/root What next?
how do I get to have the dev dir creted on the new file system?
Many thx..
To do the install I downloaded the ISO to my x86 machine, and used the
x86 httpd server to perform the install.
With the httpd server running and the ISO mounted at a location httpd
could access.
mkdir /var/www/html/install/DVD1/
mount -o loop Fedora-Server-DVD-s390x-23.iso
/var/www/html/install/DVD1/
I started hercules and issued this command to begin the install;
ipl ks-lvm.ins
where ks-lvm.ins is:
* minimal lpar ins file
images/kernel.img 0x00000000
images/initrd.img 0x02000000
images/generic.prm.kslvm 0x00010480

It was over a month ago that I did this, but I think these are what
worked for me
after a good bit of trial and error.
