Even if it did, I'm not understanding the requirement for "from FTP." There are only a couple of ways to IPL a Linux guest: >From disk, whether DASD or SCSI >From the virtual reader Via snIPL If you're talking about accessing an FTP server to get to the rest of the rescue system and complete things, then your question makes some sense. But, since you're running on z/VM, why would you need to go outside the LPAR to access an FTP server? Use the starter system, or build your own server as a guest. No need for fancy networking at that point.
