All, Being a zLinux Newbie I'm following Chapter 7. (installing and configuring SLES10) in the 'z/VM and Linux on IBM System z The Virtualization Cookbook' Step 7.5.13 identifies modifications to make to the zipl.conf file. Well... Here's where the problem lies... I fat fingered the parameter line and went ahead and executed the zipl command. Now when I try to IPL I get the following message. Waiting for device /dev/dasd1 to appear: ..............................not found -- exiting to /bin/sh
$ The device I should be looking for is /dev/dasda1 not /dev/dasd1. Can anyone offer any insight on how I can save this install without starting all over again? This is just a sandbox system I'm playing with for the time being, I was hoping this was going to become my "Gold" system eventually. Thanks in advance for any assistance. And yes... I do have a backup of the zipl.conf file, I just have no idea on how to restore it and re-run the zipl command without the actual system.
