I just did this on a new (new to my 5363) disk about one year ago. I have a
manual page here somewhere with all the details--if I can find it I'll send
you the info later. If you're in a big hurry, do a DejaNews search in
comp.sys.ibm.sys3x.misc on "microcode load" or something along those lines.
I know it's been discussed there in the last year or so.
You should also try to install the latest PTFs if you have them. You
wouldn't happen to have S/36 Common Ordinary Business Obfuscation Language
would you?
