I got farther this time. I completed the installation and IPLed from my
DASD volume. It started to come up, but froze and went into a disabled
wait after trying to start gmp. 

Starting gmp: /usr/sbin/gmp -m /dev/mouse -t ps2
gmp: oops() invoked from gmp.c(955)
Failed on virtual console check: No such file or directory
Bash-3.00#

I don't need any mouse support for Slack/390, but the setup seemed to
force me to choose a mouse driver. Do I need to reinstall and exclude
the mouse package(s)? Is there any way to fix it without reinstalling
everything?

Usually, A, part of AP, and N are all that is required.  (I moved
s390-tools into A).  I personally also install L and K.

Essentially, you're looking at two commands:
ifconfig ifname ipaddress netmask
route add default gw ipaddress

Then, you can SSH in from the outside and edit /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf
appropriately.
