I don't understand this, you mean you have to configure the

Probably am, so let me know.
Originally with your work the zPXE config had ...
* kernel.img path
* initrd.img path
* append_line
We've tweaked this now so that line 3 is just the kickstart URL. All
other system specific boot arguments will live in the parm file.
This lets us do fully automated profile-based installs because we grab
the profile kernel+initrd+kickstart ... then load the system-specific
boot args from the _parm file if available. If the system-specific
_parm file is not available, profile-based installs require manual
intervention on the 3270 console to address init.s390 user prompts.
I can do a demo if it would help ... and I may not be describing this
well :)
Thanks,
James
