I just looked at how it was done on redhat... I downloaded RH7.1 ISOs to
take a look at. The relevant files are posted up at:
http://computer-refuge.org/deb-s390/rh71-s390/
So, you point the SE's "boot from CDROM/server" option at the redhat.ins
file in the above directory, which looks like it lists file names and
memory addresses to load them at. From what I see, it looks like the
three files (kernel, initrd, and parmfile) are basically the same as
what's used on a tape-based install.
