Fedora 20 Installation on IBM Power6 Server

[Benedikt Wegmann]

Hi!

I recently installed Fedora 20 on an IBM Power 740 with PowerVM 
virtualization.
I used the installer boot options during the text mode phase of booting 
to configure the primary network interface and to enable vnc. From there 
on it was a comfortable installation through the vnc session.

The options are documented here:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/20/html-single/Installation_Guide/index.html#sn-bootoptions-installer

Sincerely,
Benedikt
