Dave, That's true, but only for the installation process, not for your production system. As I said in my last email, the difference is what the kernel expects, versus what the Red Hat installer uses.
If the initial IPL is being done via a tape, then I believe you are correct that all the parms need to be on one line.

Also I read somewhere, where it said to place all parameters on one line, when install LPAR mode. Is that still valid for 2.4.9 ??
