Hello, I had the same problem installing z/OS 1.11 and setting up Indirect Cataloging. I received message "IGGN505A SPECIFY UNIT FOR SYS1.PARMLIB ON &SYSR1 OR CANCEL", and a reply of the correct device would result in a repeat of message IGGN505A. I know I was getting the correct LOADxx due to message "IEA371I SYS1.IPLPARM ON DEVICE 1025 SELECTED FOR IPL PARAMETERS".
Putting &SYSR1, ******, or the volume id in the LOADxx member resulted in the same error message. Looking at when SYS1.PARMLIB was cataloged, VOL(&SYSR1) DEVT(0000) was used, so I did a DELETE NSCR , and cataloged SYS1.PARMLIB with VOL (******) DEVT(0000). After recataloging SYS1.PARMLIB with VOL(******), the LOADxx member with &SYSR1 worked.
