That looks like an IBM style error message to me - Linux does not tend to
go in for message numbers.
I would guess that what you need to do is boot from the CD rather than
Load from it. You may find the best thing to do is to ask on the Linux-390
list ( LINUX-390@vm.marist.edu ) as that is where most of the Linux 390
experts are to be found.
