There are two places where the disk needs to be changed:
/etc/fstab
/etc/zipl.conf
The zipl.conf is used for booting and on the way up, the fstab is used.

And, as I now see, the second set under [failsafe] is wrong. It should be
0.0.150, not 0.0.50 <G>.
I use Yast (partitioning) to change the fstab file.
I manually must change the zipl.conf file.

initrd updated, zipl needs to update the IPL record before IPL!
************************
I changed my dasd fstab setting to use device path, ipl'ed my base
system, shut it down, copied the volume using mvs dss copy, ipl'ed the
base system and mounted the cloned file system on the base system. I
then did a chroot to the new file system.
The mkinitrd command looks good except for the "DASDs" section. It is
getting those addresses from what I have mounted on the base system and
I want it to use 322b and 322f.

No. If you do, your system won't boot. Just add 'dasd=addr1,addr2" to
what is there now.
