Jeff - After discovering the 3270 terminal software issue last week, I've come to the conclusion that the issue is caused by using the Vista 3270 terminal software as the operators console (unit 001) during the initial bootstrap of MTS.
As Tom V. said, there are different pieces of driver code running 3270's depending on which phase of the IPL process is happening. It appears that the combination of Vista 3270 -> Hercules 4.x -> MTS d6.0a has issues when used as
the operator's console during the very initial phases on the IPL process.
?
I got it to work by using Mocha 3270 as the operator's console. I can use Vista 3270 just fine for the regular terminals.
I have had d6.0 running just fine under Hercules 4.7 (devel branch) on Centos 7 and NetBSD 9.3 (under an Antsle VM) and Ubuntu 22.04 on an AWS VM.?
I never would have guessed that it would be the choice of terminal software that would be the cause of the problem and tried Mocha as a last resort because I couldn't think of anything else to try.

Hey John,
On my Ubuntu VM test, I used the local x3270 on the console (DS01) and WC3270 from my Windows system on the interactive user session (DS02).
