Thanks for the links. They didn't pan out though.
FYI - another person on the team (at another location) tried to do an
install using the same image I have and got the same results. This was
in his test environment, completely different from the one I have. So,
we seem to have stumbled into a new problem. The install image we are
using is dated April 4. He checked and it seems to be the latest one
available.

I see a couple of moving parts here:
1 missing modules in a virtualization environment
this may still persist, as it is not a well-tested
path
2. inability to turn up the ethernet interface (shown in your
report) possibly due to a re-naming. p[possibly due to a
missing module

The problem seems to be in an incorrect name of the network
device specified on the kernel command line:
rd.znet=qeth,0.0.a700,0.0.a701,0.0.a702,layer2=1,portno=0
ip=10.62.40.144::10.62.40.1:24:zll0009:enccw0.0.a700:none
"enccw0.0.a700" should be replaced with "enca700". It's
because of a new naming scheme for s390x network devices
introduced in

Please Change the Dokumentation
(https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8-beta/html/installing_and_deploying_rhel/index),
because we used it as reference and there was no difference to
7.X !!!
