 ZNETBOOT makes it easy to bring up Linux on z/VM.
 Just enter the command 'znetboot' from the CMS "Ready;" prompt.

 ZNETBOOT is intended to reduce the number of manual steps required
 to boot Linux on a VM/CMS system. It should make things much easier
 for non-VM and non-mainframe users.

 By default, ZNETBOOT reads a file with a filename matching the VMID
 where you run it and a filetype of "ZNETBOOT". This file is nothing
 but a Linux boot parameters file, with the addition of URLs for the
 kernel and initial ramdisk. You can name a different file, so you
 can have several ZNETBOOT files to choose from.

 There is also a help file. Enter 'help cms znetboot' for that.
