Hi Matt.
You said: "... contains configuration information about the system being started. ..."
The PARMLIB concatenation and IODF do not have to be on the SYSRES.
Your statement is therefore incorrect.

simple and say its the volume(s) which the system is started from and contains 
configuration information about the system being started.

I would relate terms like Initial Program Load to a process like Grub which 
bootstraps the OS.  Then layer in the z/OS terminology.  throwing all new 
acronyms makes understanding something based on new words more difficult.
