Thanks for pushing the patches!

I don't know of FCP emulation either. To test the module, you would
indeed have to have a zFCP HBA defined plus the necessary storage
network setup (with zoning/LUN masking) configured.

As I already have tested Hendrik's original patchset, building off of
the d-i repository will probably not lead to new insights. I could
however offer to re-run tests once a udeb is built for s390-fcp.
If I can provide additional info (logs of an install, screenshots, ...),
I'd be more than happy to do so.
