Hi, I am going to upload the 3.0.14 boot-floppies today so that they are in the archive tomorrow. The following items are missing 1) script for initial netsetup 2) integration of dasdfmt into dbootstrap 3) creation of non-root user from dbootstrap
I would be great if someone could write a hopefully successful installation report and post it to debian-testing. Below is a short description of what I did to install from VM reader. I downloaded the VM reader kernel image s390/linux, the parmfile and the ramdisk root.bin from dists/testing/main/disks-s390/current/. I added then the OCO modules by accessing the ramdisk via a loopback device. I did an ipl from VM reader using the 3 files. I loaded then the network module, configured the interface with ifconfig and added a default route. I did a telnet into the system, dasdfmt from the command line and followed the dbootstrap dialog for installation from the network. When dbootstrap was finished I unmounted /target and did an ipl from the dasd. After the creation of a non-root user from the console using adduser I could telnet into the new system. Regards Gerhard
