Hi Kenny, we had the same problem when we tested Linux/390 some time ago. Here is what we did:
we set up a CTC connection between the Linux LPAR and a test z/OS LPAR and set up the Cisco to route the CTC address via that test LPAR. Then we ran the installation using escon0 (CTC) and finally we compiled the CLAW module for the running kernel and switched the network connection to ci0.

I've never had the need to configure the ethernet adapter, but it looks like I get to figure it out. Thanks again.

Make the Lpar enabled, take cd1 and insert it into the CD reader on the processor, and go to the HMC workstation, find the Icon that says load from CD on the toggle on the right.... and punch it !! It should load the boot image, and now you need to bring up the "Dumb" terminal on the HMC..."System Messages" and go from there...
