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

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.

Fedora 36 s390x installation
by Ian Shorter
Has anyone successfully installed Fedora 36 s390x, in particular under the Hercules 390 emulator? If you have can you please share the secret of your success.
I successfully installed Fedora 30 s390x several years ago, but with every release since then I have had nothing but failure.
