Hi Mark,
Installed the new zipl.conf file you sampled to me and ran the zipl -V
command and it works great!
At the VM console we now have a way to stop the full boot if needed in'
Our SLES 9.3 systems ...
Here is (for all) a zipl.conf before and after ..
Thanks again Mark top notch info as always !
Paul

And here's the updated version. Rename your current one. Copy this
into place. Re-run zipl, and you're done.
