I have ultra wide experience with System Z. My first access was about
30 days ago. :-)

I think you may be right about this. My goal is to install Debian on
the System Z. As the System Z is complete new thing to me, I try to
fix the problems in the domain I'm more confortable with that is
Debian.
But isn't it just download files from
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/etch/main/installer-s390/current/images/generic/,
upload files to the CMS, and then type debian?
I'm curious about what am I doing wrong about the initrd and Debian etch. Ideas?
Thanks again!
Peter
