Hello Conrad,

Hm, sounds like more a configuration problem?

I guess so.

Hooray! Whatever caused this mishap, apparently your 21 fixed it.

But in this small menu, is this the manual IPL process?

Yes.

Manual means that the box doesn't auto-IPL after power on but you have to either choose 1 (IPL) or can apply maintenance tasks (DST, …).

We need to see how the system behaves when it's in a determined state.

I am sorry, what?

Right now there are too many question marks for me to really know what's going on on that box. :-)

Maybe it still a wrong configured console, so my twinax terminal only starts getting output when IPL is finished?

I think, that's the key. Also see Mark's comment about the 65-21-Dance.

Look here for details:

Good luck!
