RE: V4R3 to V4R5 alternate IPL device

[Jerome Draper <jdraper@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The real question is:

When upgrading from V4R3 to V4R5 on a Model 170 what is the correct procedure 
for performing and IPL D operation such that the CDROM drive is used for the 
IPL and not the tape drive? The tape drive and the CDROM both exist on Bus 1 so 
there is no opportunity to designate the CDROM as an alternate IPl device 
within DST.
