The z/VM evaluation edition is a fully functional and customizable z/VM system that boots from DVD. It requires a z10 though. This usage is probably not covered by the licensing terms and conditions - but I'm not going to be the judge of that! Using it this way came up another time in a discussion I was having with some people - it is an interesting thought on how a tapeless system could be supported.
