+ <title>Creating an IPL tape</title>
+
+<para>
+
+If you can't boot (IPL) from the CD-ROM and you are not using VM
+you need to create an IPL tape first. This is described in section
+3.4.3 in the
+<ulink url="http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/pubs/pdfs/redbooks/sg246264.pdf">
+Linux for IBM eServer zSeries and S/390: Distributions</ulink>
+Redbook. The files you
+need to write to the tape are (in this order):
+<filename>kernel.debian</filename>,
+<filename>parmfile.debian</filename> and
+<filename>initrd.debian</filename>. The files can be downloaded
+from the <filename>tape</filename> sub-directory, see
+<xref linkend="where-files"/>,
