AFAIK SCSI IPL was paid feature, so it would be piracy to share it. Note, this is rather "hardware piracy". ;-) I'm not sure about terms and conditions, but possibly it is allowed to transfer such license, so someone could give it to you from some no longer used machine.

BTW: You can obtain some CKD disks and install Linux on 3390 devices. I think it's more funny. Last but not least: it does not require SCSI IPL.

Ok so I'm sure many have been wondering what happened with the z890.
I have after many road blocks I have gotten the FCP SCSI storage working and actually did complete an install of CentOS 4.7 on it last night! But the new problem is IPLing said install. I would be-able to directly IPL from SCSI if I had Feature Code FC 9904, which I do not. This was supposedly a free Feature Code back in the day but was only available till Dec. 31, 2007. So if anyone has FC 9904 and is able to send me a copy (If that's how that works? I assume this is loaded into the system via floppy.) it would make my life a million times easier :) Otherwise I will have to find a way to mount the drives in an installer and boot with the installer. Which I have yet to find a way to do this, any documented way anyway, I will have to play with it.
This should be last step to have Linux running!
So hopefully someone can get me a copy of FC 9904 or I can find some other way to IPL.
