I have used cyl 0, on occasion, for page or spool and have never had a
problem.

Cecelia,
I have neither a D6800 or z/VM 5.1, but I do wonder about your
allocation of SPOL as 0 thru 3338 and PAGE as 0 thru 3338 on what
appears to be real volumes. I am wondering whether this is stepping on
the VOLSER in some fashion? I've always been careful to allocate this
space as 1 through END when adding new volumes, leaving cyl 0 alone. My
2 cents, in case it helps.

This is not early in the install process, but it is necessary to start
over then that is what I will do...
The SPOOL and PAGE volumes are the predefined areas that IBM provides
with z/VM 5.1.

To generate the ALLOC maps, I linked to the full volume definition with
the directory. That is why it indicates it is a minidisk, but the
system as it as a full volume.
