Part of this confusion may be because the dasd driver sometimes was upset about whatever was left on the disk. A plain CMS FORMAT first would allow the first channel programs to complete without errors and let the dasd driver recognize the device. Anything CMS did there would be overwritten.

Might be, I think it may be a simple as loading the DIAG and FBA dasd modules as well during the install, I promised Florian to look into that. The scheme was already pretty complicated before the module got split in 3 parts and dynamic attach/detach was added. Rob
