Robin, I used the front end of Red Hat installer as the basis for mine, since I really liked the idea of being able to specify just about all the parms you need in the parmfile. (I improved it a little bit, too, to scan what was in /proc/cmdline instead of relying on environment variables getting set.)
I would say that your parmfile should have this in it: CHANDEV=lcs0,0x5012,0x5013 That matches what is in IBM's Device Drivers and Installation Commands manual for Linux/390. If you're using something other than port 0, you'll need to specify that as well. If you don't have a copy, there's a pointer to it on linuxvm.org.
