Why do we need / want any of this when we already have bootindex=NN
support. Inventing a S390-only way to select the boot device order
is pretty horrible IMHO

Hi Daniel,
The bootindex is used to select a boot device, the loadparm used to
select a boot entry within that boot device.
Loadparm is not a way to select boot device order. Bootindex is still
used to select the boot device order.
Hope this clears it up.
Thanks
