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. linux63:/etc # cat /etc/fstab /dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.0150-part1 / ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 1 <============ /dev/dasdd1 swap swap pri=60 0 0 /dev/dasde1 swap swap pri=50 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0 debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs noauto 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0 /dev/system/system /home ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2 linux59.stlouiscity.com:/home/nfs/oracle102 /oracle/images nfs defaults 0 0 linux59.stlouiscity.com:/home/nfs/oracletmp /oracletmp nfs defaults 0 0 linux59.stlouiscity.com:/home/nfs/oraclebkup /oraclebkup nfs hard,bg,suid,rsize=32768,wsize=32768 0 0 linux63:/etc # cat /etc/zipl.conf # Modified by YaST2.

It is getting those addresses from what I have mounted on the base system and I want it to use 322b and 322f.
