Yes, the install process stops at that point.  If you start seeing the
network setup scripts run, your IPL is already complete.  You can
restart the installer by re-executing /linuxrc.

You will want to connect to the system via SSH, not TN3270, once the
network is up and running.  Trying to run the setup command via TN3270
will not be very intelligible for you.

Subject: cannot ping itself, ipl network setup stops

I am  still struggling on ipling from tape. Fortunately I could show my
OSA card to linux 390 today.  
But still I have network problems.  During the network setup portion of
the linux/390 ipl, linux pings  its own ip address(gets unknown host),
pings  the gateway ip address(gets unknown host),  pings the DNS server
ip address and gets a reply.  
It says,  I cannot ping all the required interfaces, correct the problem
and stops.  (Does it really stop? I do not know, because I could not see
a complete ipl yet!!)

Then, a few seconds later,  I send the ping command to linux on the hmc
console, it pings all the 3 addresses successfully.   Did anybody have
this problem?  What should I do?

Can I connect the system via TN3270 in this situation?   Do I use port
23 for TN3270 to linux/390?
Thanks.
