Updating the kernel parmline in /etc/zipl.conf, I suppose.  I believe
others have reported that YaST fails to do this when adding DASD.

Subject: Missing something stupid....adding dasd


OK the day after superbowl....so be kind <G>

This is Suse 9.0 64 bit with SP2.

I need to add a couple disks...eventually to Oracle.

I add the dasd to the directory and put the directory online.
I CMS format the disks.
Bring up Suse
Yast, activate the dasd, format the dasd.  Disks are now dasdf1 and
dasdg1. partitioner, and add in the mount points. exit out of Yast. zipl

But when I shutdown and reboot, the boot fails due to missing /var.

I've looked at fstab and everything seemed to be ok.
cat /proc/dasd/devices was ok.
zipl.conf had nothing interesting.

I have flashcopy setup, so redoing the image for testing is a 30 second
process <G>.

Just what am I missing?

Thanks
