But now I'm having a new problem. ssh into the install system is hanging on key 
exchange (it worked fine when I was using LCS so I'm confident it's not 
something wrong with ssh itself). On closer investigation it seems possibly MTU 
related?

I can ping from the FTP server (which it is successfully downloading the 
initial installer components from) into the LPAR with ICMP packets >1400 bytes, 
but if I use telnet to get a shell on the installer system, I can't ping the 
other direction with ICMP packets >548 bytes. Why should it be so asymmetric?

The CPU is not being chewed up by the LCS, though, and that does seem to have 
been the issue with bringing dasd online, as that works fine now. Once I 
cranked the MTU down to the lowest allowable (576 bytes) everything is working. 
But... gross. Several arbitrary intermediate steps between 1500 and 576 solved 
nothing; why so low?

Once the install completes I shall have to see about experimentally finding the 
actual limit.


ok
bear.
