Reboot the z/VM guest. You should get a menu. At that point enter: #cp vi vmsg 0 init=/bin/bash That should allow you to cd to /etc/rc.d/, and rename SuSEfirewall2_setup to, for example, SuSEfirewall2_setup.prod, which will prevent the firewall rules from being created when you reboot the system. You may not be able to use the reboot or shutdown command to reboot after this, depending on how your file systems are laid out. If that is the case, remount your root file system as read-only: mount -o remount -r -n -t ext3 /dev/dasda1 / Then use #CP IPL to reboot the system. Once up, fix your misconfiguration, rename SuSEfirewall2_setup.prod back to SuSEfirewall2_setup, and reboot.
