I believe, however, that if you need to use the stand alone loader screen to select your nucleus, etc, a 3270 is required.

In fact you can specify SYSCONS (sp?) in the SYSTEM CONFIG as of z/VM 3.1 even though it was not yet fully implemented. Is this no longer a planned enhancement? Am I mis-interpreting it's functionality/scope? I haven't had time to stay current on z/VM 4.2 and 4.3 as I have not been doing much with L/390 lately except under Hercules :(.
