Hi Mauro,
Thank you!!! That was the problem. (i.e. corrupted .img file which had
been IND$FILEd up))
I FTPd the files from a Windows Server (after MOUNTing the ISO on a
(Virtual) Drive).
One other thing ... The Red Hat doc. has a mistake:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/installation_guide/sect-installing-zvm-s390
16.3.1. Using the z/VM Reader
Perform the following steps to boot from the z/VM reader:
1.
If necessary, add the device containing the z/VM TCP/IP tools to
your CMS disk list. For example:
cp link tcpmaint 592 592
acc 592/fm/
Replace /fm/ with any |FILEMODE| letter.
2.
Execute the command:
|ftp /host/|
Where /host/ is the host name or IP address of the FTP server that
hosts the boot images (|kernel.img| and |initrd.img|).
3.
Log in and execute the following commands. Use the |(repl| option if
you are overwriting existing |kernel.img|, |initrd.img|,
|generic.prm|, or |redhat.exec| files:
|cd //location/of/install-tree//images/|
|ascii |
|get generic.prm (repl |
|get redhat.exec (repl |
|locsite fix 80 |
|binary |
|get kernel.img (repl |
|get initrd.img (repl |
|quit|
In "3.", it says:
|locsite fix 80 It should say instead: quote site fix 80 The adventure
continues ... Regards, David |

I had this exact issue yesterday. The problem is probably a corrupted
bootstrap file.
Make sure to send the files as binary fixed 80, and prefer ftp transfer. I
used the file transfer of x3270 and it failed just like yours.

Hi Dan,
I am not sure that I understand what you're asking.
I PUNched these files (which I obtained from the downloaded ISO):
KERNEL IMG
GENERIC PRM
INITRD IMG

David

I created the Virtual Machine according to the "cookbook" and
SWAPGENd 2 Virtual drives before PUNching the 3 Files and IPLing from
the Virtual Reader.
is it from the installed system or from the installation?
