As soon as the vt220 emulation is available, an icon for an integrated vt220 ASCII
console appears next to the icon for the 3215 console on the HMC/SE. Make sure that
you do not apply the changes as described above to a system that does not support vt220
terminal emulators. Otherwise, login might become impossible on this system and you
will be shown the following message:
INIT respawning too fast, disabled for 5 minutes.
To redirect the kernel messages at boot time from the system console to the vt220 ter-
minal, add the following entries to the
parameters
line in
/etc/zipl.conf
:
console=ttyS0 console=ttyS1
The resulting
parameters
line would look like the following example:
parameters = "root=/dev/dasda2 TERM=dumb console=ttyS0 console=ttyS1"
Save the changes in
/etc/zipl.conf
, run
zipl
, and reboot the system.
