Apparently the s390 kernel does not parse the kernel command line for
environment variables. Here I'm in hercules and I've put "foo=3Dbar" in
parmfile.debian, which adds it to the kernel command line:
~ # =
=20
=2Eset =
=20
set =
=20
IFS=3D' =
=20
' =
=20
PATH=3D'/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin' =

PPID=3D'167' =

PS1=3D'\w \$ ' =

PS2=3D'> ' =

PS4=3D'+ ' =

PWD=3D'/' =

TERM=3D'dumb' =
=20
~ # =

cat /proc/cmdline =

Linux (none) 2.4.27-1-s390 #1 SMP Tue Aug 17 12:18:33 CEST 2004 s390 unknow=
n =20
Maybe this is really a kernel bug, I don't know. Should check with the kern=
el
guys and if there's a reason it cannot set env variables, one fix might
be to parse /proc/cmdline instead of using the environment.
Until this gets fixed, fully automatic, preseeded installs arn't possible
on s390.

Waldi pointed out that di-utils-shell clears the environment. I must
have messed up before, my debconf variable settings are getting through
now.
We still need preseeding support for s390, but that is a different bug..
