RE: Best Manual for Scratch Install

Sorry, i'm out of ideas too. Maybe calling support on monday might be your best option.

I've used 65/21 a few times when IBM shipped us wrongly configured machines, and i've never figured out what exactly i had to do in order to get it work. But it always worked after a few repeat tries, so i just attributed that to my own incompetence. Seems that i'm not the only who has trouble with this ;)

You'll need to use Function 11 to see the current SRC - so after
pressing 65 / 21, press 11 to see the current SRC. It will not display
automatically.

Thanks for this help, Lukas. That helped a lot and I thought I was able to
get something done, but now whenever I try to change the setting I get a
D100 8065, which says "Remote Service/Operations Console communications line
deactivated or failed to activate".

I can get an A603 500A, which says I am set up for LAN console. Using
multiple 65/21 combos I can get to A601 500B, which means I have edited the
setting to twinax console. But when I then try to hit option 21 again
(without a 65, to actually set the console), and then look at 11, it
switches to A602 500B, which is no help.

Eventually I time out and get A6C3 500D. And sometimes I try to hit option
65 and I just get the D100 8065.

I am not having a good day. I think I'll leave this for Monday.
