-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
