This maybe a dumb question, but is the volume VMFF85 online and attached to
the system?  If not, when LNXADMIN logs on, it should get an error message
that the volume is not available and therefore MDISK 0100 won't exist and
can't be IPLed.

It would help if we could see the console messages produced when LNXADMIN
was logged on or XAUTOLOGed.  I see OPERATOR is defined as SECUSER, so
those messages should be on the OPERATOR's console as well.

Regards, Fred
