I install to dasda, root is dasda1.
Ipl cms and ddr to a second volume ... dasdc.
Ipl 200 and mount dasdc1 as /data2.
Then ..
zipl.conf
[defaultboot]
default=linux
[linux]
target=/data2/boot/
image=/data2/boot/vmlinuz
parameters="root=/dev/dasda1 dasd=200-20f"
And zipl ... now you have an ipl-able 202 ... ipl 202 clear.
You can now play with the install on 202. Since I was doing kernel work I
kept the same root volume. If your doing more than playing with kernels
then you may want to pickup a different root vol. You can always reipl 200
if you bugger up 202 ... and start over ... ddr ... mount ... zipl ...
