-----Original Message----- 2) Attaching the physical reader to the virtual machine as 010 and doing an IPL 010 CLEAR *does* successfully start and clearly gets to the point of reading in the initrd. I didn't try to do a complete IPL for time reasons, but when I stopped the process, it had read about a third of the deck, and displaying storage showed the right contents. This took about 40 minutes.
