Progress in the making !!! thanks to all that gave me advice, guess it is my lucky day... I finally figured out that the commands "./" that i was entering in the bootstrap configurations were WRONG !!! bad advice from another user.... so i used just the " . " and the responses..... !! worked well, then ran into a problem with my formated 3390-3 disks, so deleted them & reformatted them and fired up Hercules again to do the install....
This time the network came up !!! and the disks took off !!! I tried a VISTA terminal session into the system, but it complained about it being TN3270-E terminal.... So I opened a DOS window and telnetttttted in !! then did ".loader" and BANG !!! up comes the install menu....... ONE HAPPY CAMPER TODAY .... break time... ken
