Replying to myself! OK, some more playing with it and I got it to work. I think there's a bug here still. I rearranged the order of things and squished the number of lines down and ended up with this whiched worked. I suspect the number of lines and/or number of characters passed were causing the last parms to get missed. ramdisk_size=65536 root=/dev/ram1 ro init=/linuxrc INST_PASSWORD=xxxxxxxx AUTOINSTALL=yes INST_IP_ADDR=10.26.125.67 IP_ADDR=10.12.7.100 SAMBAUSER=Administrator IP_HOST=sles8.wellsfargo.com IP_MTU=16384 IP_GATEWAY=10.12.7.126 IP_DNS=10.12.71.20 IP_INTERFACE=hsi READ_DEVNO=1D00 WRITE_DEVNO=1D01 DATA_DEVNO=1D02 VNC_PASSWORD=xxxxxxxx INST_INFO=SAMBA INST_IP_DIR=MARCYCD INST_SCREEN=VNC SAMBAPASSWORD=xxxxxxx IP_BROADCAST=10.12.7.127 DASD_Parameter=dasd=0100,0201-0207 IP_NETMASK=255.255.255.192
