RE: Connect to Lan Console during D-Mode IPL?

Really for clarification, the manager is the FSP, and the interface into the
FSP to manage it is via the HMC and IVM for partitions, and via the ASMI for
a direct interface but that has no partition information.

First partition was numbered 0 when it was the managing partition -
before the HMC came on the scene with system i. The 520 (and
derivatives), 570, and 595 have first partition numbered at 1 - because
now the managing "partition" is the HMC or IVM (yes - I know that is a
loose interpretation).

indeed explicit...

BTW, I can't escape a recollection that it used to be zero, but

regardless

of whatever I think it used to be, it's 1 now.
