okay, here's what I did.
echo chandev=lcs0,0x0202,0x0203,0,1 >> zipl.conf
echo HOST=s390.rh-kfbs.com:eth0:172.16.1.164:1500 >> zipl.conf
(thinking this would get eth0)
ifup eth0
(no messages ... this looks good)
cd /boot
zipl
(everything looks good)
I do an ifconfig and still only have lo.
I cd /etc, more zipl.conf.
[defaultboot]
default=linux
[linux]
target=/boot/
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.17tape
parameters="root=/dev/dasda2 dasd=487,488,987"
[linux-up]
target=/boot/
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.17tape
parameters="root=/dev/dasda2 dasd=487,488,987"
chandev=lcs0,0x0202,0x0203,0,1
HOST=s390.rh-kfbs.com:eth0:172.16.1.164:1500
when I reboot, I'll still only read [linux]. how do I change the
default=linux to default=linux-up? what about the ""?
when I reboot, shouldn't I see the eth0 startup? what does echo
read_conf > /proc/chandev do? I'm going to go try the rest but this just
didn't look right.

Jammie,
You should be able to logon to the console as root, cd to /etc, then do
echo needed.parm1 >> zipl.conf
echo needed.parm2 >> zipl.conf
echo needed.parm1 > /proc/chandev
echo needed.parm2 > /proc/chandev
echo read_conf > /proc/chandev
ifup eth0
then cd /boot and re-run zipl to make the changes permanent.

okay, I made a mistake somewhere. I ran loader and install went well.
however, when I ipl from dasd, I do not get my eth0. I run ifconfig and
all it show is lo 127.0.0.1. I looked back and I did not put the
chandev=lcs0 ... in the z/IPL boot loader. can I execute something to
get my system up and then vi zipl.conf and add the needed parm or do I
just have to start the loader process over.
regards, j-me
