By chance are you mixing up virtual and real addresses?  Are 2500-2505 and
2061 real addresses?

If you are using MDISKs and not DEDICATEs in your user directory entry
(which I think most would agree is recommended), then the minidisks become
the virtual addresses that you want to put in zipl.conf.

If you're using DEDICATEs, then you can partition the mod-9 with fdasd,
but only into a maximum of 3 more disks (dasd<x>1, dasd<x>2 and dasd<x>3),
but again partitioning with Mindisks is preferred.

You want to list the order of the minidisks in /etc/zipl.conf so as to
correspond with the file systems in /etc/fstab.
So preserve the order of /dev/dasda1, /dev/dasdb1, ... that you installed
with. So if you installed onto let's say 100, 101 and 102, and added a
logical volume using 2500-2505 you will want "dasd=100-102,2500-2505" (of
course condisering the above discussion on real vs. virtual addresses).

Hope this helps.
