Thank you Mark, I had actually headed down this path as you explained
below just before I got this E-mail.  The idea or thought came to me based
on my Gentoo Linux background.  Anyhow, thank you for your help and so
everyone knows this procedure did fix the problem.

Thank you!

In that case, it sounds like you re-ran zipl, but the contents of
/etc/zipl.conf are bad.

Re-IPL your system from the reader, using the three starter files.  Do:
        insmod dasd dasd=addr1,addr2,addr3
        mount /dev/dasda1 /mnt
        chroot /mnt
        cd /etc
        cat zipl.conf

Does the "parameters=" value specify all the disks you want?  Does it
specify the correct "root=" value?  If not, start the installation
process,
but when you telnet/ssh in, do this:
        chroot /mnt
        vi /etc/zipl.conf
        zipl
        exit

During the vi editing session, make sure the parms are correct.  When you
reboot your system, make sure the parameters are reflected in the messages
put out by the system.

How would one fix this if it was working prior to the addition of a new
disk?

It looks like you punched an install kernel to the virtual reader, but not
the initrd.  Device "01:00" is a ram disk.

Anyone seen this error before? If so how do you resolve it?

NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux NET4.0.
VFS: Cannot open root device "" or 01:00
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 01:00
HCPGIR450W CP entered; disabled wait PSW 000A0000 802A04F0
