Wilder idea: how about a PXEboot based system? If the HMC could issue a PXEboot request for a particular LPAR, then you could set up a TFTP server on your choice of systems and use that to get a basic floor system with DDR, DSF, TCPIP and CMS PIPES running. It'd even be standards based, and would probably work for z/OS. 8-)
