Keep in mind this is different from the HMC function that your Linux distributor has in mind when *they* say \"load from the CD-ROM\". If you\'re following your Linux distributor\'s instructions, you will not be able to use the 2074 CD-ROM drive as a substitute for the HMC drive. > Remember, to the host it looks like a tape drive. Exactly, which requires different files on the CD-ROM than the \"Load from CD-ROM\" function on the HMC. You could burn a CD-ROM with the kernel, parmfile and initrd files, but that would require some more knowledge about how the 2074 CD-ROM tape \"emulation\" works (OMA, perhaps?). Cheers, Vic Cross
