Maybe they think that if they use open source software as part of their
proprietary software that they would have to make their software open.
AFAIK, it doesn't matter unless you distribute your software with the OSS
stuff embedded (and thus no longer open). If I'm wrong... straighten me
out...

Maciek,
I haven't gone through a Debian/390 install with OCO modules, but I would
think that at some point you would need to copy the OCO module from the
ramdisk to your /lib/modules tree so that the installed system could access
it after the IPL. You should just be able to re-IPL the starter

Try a 'cat /proc/dasd/devices' to see the device_name to mdisk_address

For further mapping info of how are those logical volumes mapped onto your

Two things to check. Make sure /etc/fstab specifies that the file system is
to be mounted readonly. Also, in your parmfile where you specify DASD
device numbers, make sure that you specify 107(ro). So, for example, you
would have:
