For those following the "unable to load from CD-ROM" issue, it turns out that it was a code-level issue in the HMC (my HMC is version 2.9 but I don't remember what the service level of it is). My local CE just put on some "patches" this afternoon (which are probably Linux-based since the HMC is now Linux-based) and the option to load from CD-ROM is now available.

I believe it is looking for the suse.ins file which is in the root directory of CD1. If you're pointing to an install tree via FTP, it might be here: # cat /nfs/sles9x/sles9xsp3root/sles9/CD1/suse.ins * SuSE Linux for zSeries Installation/Rescue System boot/vmrdr.ikr 0x00000000 boot/initrd.siz 0x00010414 boot/initrd 0x00800000 boot/parmfile 0x00010480 Hope this helps.
