Well, I'm using an FTP server because I needed to create an FTP server for other uses. This setup gave me a test bed prior to producing a production one.
Perhaps, later next week, if this isn't fixed, I will try an NFS server.
But, so far, using a Linux/390 ftp server gave me the same results as using Samba on my Win/2000 box, except for the much greater performance the Linux/390 side has due to not having to go out on the wire.

Tom,
If I enter in /data/sles9root, then I can load the ram disk. But I wonder if yast can handle the /data/sles9root or if it is also looking for /sles9root?
The SuSE "Architecture Specific Information" manual says:
"INST_IP_DIR=/s390 Enter a directory on the installation server, which holds the installation data of the SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server CDs."
To me that implies a fully qualified directory should work, and in fact this is how you get the RAMdisk loaded.
On the FTP server, what is the output of "ls -l /data/sles9root"?
A workaround is to use NFS rather than FTP, but if you want to get to the bottom of *this* problem I understand.
