Abstract
After your hardware has been prepared for the installation of SUSE Linux Enterprise® as described in the Architecture-Specific Information manual and after the connection with the installation system has been established, you are presented with the interface of SUSE Linux Enterprise's system assistant YaST. YaST guides you through the entire installation and configuration procedure.
For IBM System z platforms, the system is initialized (IPL) as described in the Architecture-Specific Information manual. SUSE Linux Enterprise does not show a splash screen on these systems. During the installation, load the kernel, initrd, and parmfile manually. YaST starts with its installation screen as soon as a connection has been established to the installation system via VNC, X, or SSH. Because there is no splash screen, kernel or boot parameters cannot be entered on screen, but must be specified in a parmfile (see the parmfile information in Appendix Appendix (↑Architecture-Specific Information)).
