This is so cool. Maybe try starting with something like ZZSA? I never tried, but I heard that can be IPL'd from DVD in the HMC.

Did you buy DASD to go with it?

Hi I'm new to the list, was pointed here by someone because I need some help 
using the HMC on the z890 to get an LPAR setup to boot via FTP.
I bought this machine for $237 :)
It wasn't fun to get into the basement but its here now.

I have gotten it to power on and 'power-on reset' but that's about as far as 
I've gotten.
I also have to reconfigure the I/O because a pair of I/O modules where damaged 
because the heat-sinks fell off when removing them and they damaged some chips 
while removing them.
Any help would be appreciated :)
Thanks!
