Hi Rob
Thank you very much for your guidance . I did it and when I run:
cat /proc/dasd/devices , I see:

Meanwhile the type file of this dasd is reiserfs
but when I use this command :
mount /dev/dasdn /mnt -t reiserfs -o rw
it says:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/dasdn,
or too many mounted file systems
I don't know what type of vfstype must be used to mount this dasd to my
filesystem.

You should not edit /boot/parmfile but the line in /etc/zipl.conf and
run zilo again to write the things to the boot records.
Alternatively, you can
echo add device 800 > /proc/dasd/devices
to make Linux pick up the new device.
Meanwhile I don't know anything abot the VM and I have a VM admin for
doing something I need , he attache the disk number of old machine to my
machine but I don't know how to access it from linux .
This way works, but I find it often easier to start the install system
with ramdisk and mount my disks into that to fix the problem.
