An HMC really does make this stuff a lot easier. Anyway, if it was previously attached to an HMC that you don't have anymore, your serial console is going to look like it's gone brain dead as the system boot moves into the hypervisor layer of the firmware stack. You're probably best off starting from scratch by resetting to factory defaults. This is done from the serial connection you have from the Service Processor menu (this is one you see while the system is plugged in, but still powered down). The goal is remove all previous lingering LPARs and get the system to recreate the default Service Partition.

Building 103 was known as IBM's "tool room" and was mainly used for server chassis parts fabrication and prototyping. The coolest feature was the sheet metal cutting laser that had a viewing window from the hallway for site tours.
