History

Philipp Kern 479c17d917 Drop the d390oco* files. Object code only modules date back to 2.2 and 2.4 kernel times, when IBM did not release the source to certain kernel modules. Since many years everything needed to boot and run the machine is actually open source. It also got broken due to the kernel growing larger and adding the oco.bin would overwrite parts of the kernel. It's safe to say that nobody is actually using this.		2015-11-13 00:21:19 +00:00

About the S/390 installation CD
===============================

It is possible to "boot" the installation system off this CD using
the files provided in the /boot directory.

Although you can boot the installer from this CD, the installation
itself is *not* actually done from the CD. Once the initrd is loaded,
the installer will ask you to configure your network connection and
uses the network-console component to allow you to continue the
installation over SSH. The rest of the installation is done over the
network: all installer components and Debian packages are retrieved
from a mirror.


Tip for users of the Hercules emulator
--------------------------------------
If you want to ipl the installer off this CD, mount it on the host
system (e.g. on /media/cdrom) and enter the following in the Hercules
management console:
   ipl /media/cdrom/boot/d390.ins
