z/IPL Boot Loader Installation

   Red Hat Linux for S/390 and zseries uses the z/IPL
   bootloader  in  order  to configure the startup of
   the the machine.

   You  can  now  add  additional  parameters  to the
   default   ones   which   were   built   from  your
   installation setup or enter completely new ones.

   The parameters are separated into two parts:

     * Kernel parameters
     * Chandev parameters

   where  all  the kernel parameters will be added to
   the  /etc/zipl.conf  file  and  used during system
   startup and the 2 chandev lines will be written to
   /etc/chandev.conf with which the kernel configures
   I/O devices.
