Does zipl display a boot menu? If so, you'll need to pass root= to
zipl, not IPL. For example, at a prompt like this:
00: zIPL v1.5.3 interactive boot menu
00:
00: 0. default (linux)
00:
00: 1. linux
00:
00: Note: VM users please use '#cp vi vmsg <input>'
00:
00: Please choose (default will boot in 15 seconds):
You'll want to enter:
#cp vi vmsg 0 %root=/dev/dasdd1
This adds root=/dev/dasdd1 to the Linux kernel parameters. Note: The %
is an escape character to '#cp vi vmsg' which sets input to lowercase.
Otherwise root= is sent as ROOT=, which Linux doesn't like very much.

Subject: Re: IPL parms
Did you try - "IPL 1490 LOADPARM root=/dev/dasd1" ? What happened?

May I should have phrased my question better, I'm losing my mind. Is
there a way to pass a Linux boot parm, when typing IPL XXXX from VM,
such as IPL 1490 root=/dev/dasda1
