Change the names to match what ever you called the files. The parmfile can be in ASCII or EBCDIC. (At least that _used_ to be true.)

This is most excellent! I am installing Redhat, and the image files are different.. Should I replace SYS1.LINUX.TAPEIPL.IKR and SYS1.LINUX.INITRD with tapeinrd.img & tapekrnl.img? And will the boot process be expecting to read the parmfile in ASCII?
