First, I assume in the Subject you mean "S/390"; Linux does not run
under OS/390 unless maybe you're running, um, that Russian thing whose
name I don't remember.

After the insmod dasd probeonly, which should have showed you a list of
DASD devices, you needed to do

rmmod dasd

before the next insmod.

The command you want is

insmod dasd dasd=04c0-04c4

('Load the module named "dasd" with the parameter "dasd" set to
"04c0-04c4"')

And you have to (I think) format your disks one at a time:

dasdfmt -n 04c0 -b 4096
dasdfmt -n 04c1 -b 0496

and so on.
