Quite often even that is tedious since I want network access as well (e.g. pick up a new package from somewhere - mind you, not floppies) and maybe even outside its normal network configuration. The reason people settle for local console is that they're used to not having more than that. With z/VM you can simply have one of your trusted Linux servers link to the disks in write mode (when the owner is dead) and do all changes and modifications that you need to fix the problem. You then unmount the disks and start the server again. > The second primary issue is the lack of a syslinux or the ability to boot I suspect this is the same issue, but right now you can already have patches that allow you to select the kernel parameters throuh LOADPARM on the IPL statement, and more is coming later.
