    I have ported the pach queue to recent s390-tools. Not tested only merge without conflict.
    Is this still required? I see that qemu-2.5 has support for booting El
    Torito .iso images, and it boots Debian off virtio block drives just
    fine.

    Granted, it looks like debian packaging strips the s390 firmware file,
    and doesn't rebuild it. Maybe that should simply be fixed and that's
    it?
    Right, including the firmware file would be the proper way to enable
    QEMU for booting on s390.

    If I understand it correctly, this is now obsoleted by the fact that
    qemu dropped s390-virtio and runs with their own s390-ccw rom now that's
    built from the qemu source. Is that correct? Can we close the s390-tools
    bug at least? And I suppose arrange for s390-ccw.rom to be shipped from
    the qemu package?

    Kind regards and thanks
