Try this.. this one works on whatever flavour of z/VM you want: 'VMFCLEAR' Clears the screen for legibility.
'CLOSE 00C' Close all open files in the reader - for purging. 'PUR RDR ALL' Empties (purges) the VM reader. 'CP SP PUN * RDR' Moves the contents of the punch to the reader. 'PU SLES8 IMAGE A (NOH' Moves the LINUX boot file to the reader. 'PU SLES8 PARM A (NOH' Moves the LINUX parameters file to the reader. 'PU SLES8 INITRD A (NOH' Moves the initial RAMdisk file (initial root FS)to the reader. 'CH RDR ALL KEEP NOH' Non-deletion of reader contents after process completion. 'CP IPL 00C CL' Sends the reader an Initial Program Load (IPL) command Regards/Cordialement/Gruss/Saludos John Cassidy Dipl.-Ing (Informatique) S390 & zSeries Systems Engineering Schleswigstr. 7 D-51065 Cologne EU Tel: +49 (0) 221 61 60 777 .

Previously and as I documented the process for our office, the VM version was 4.3. Has anything changed? Also, I notice that in filelist the files are listed as follows: SLES8 EXEC A1 V 28 9 1 12/18/03 .... . . . Above you will notice that I punch with an 'a', should I replace the 'a' with an 'a1' as found in filelist? Thanks!

(File vmrdr.ikr gets downloaded as SLES8 IMAGE, so doing it from memory it's easy to get the wrong file...)
