Frans Pop d961fb7e0e s390: specify offset and size of the initrd for booting from CD
The old setup worked fine with an ext2 initrd but fails with an initramfs,
either because autodetection is different for initramfs or because of kernel
changes (I suspect the first).
This means that booting s390 from CD has not worked since sometime during the
Etch release cycle, even though support for booting from CD was only added
early in that cycle - ouch.

For booting with an initramfs initrd we apparently need to specify its
offset and size at specific memory locations.

Change is based on SuSE's CD boot. Many thanks to Adam Thornton, Mark Post
(of Novell) and Bastian Blank for providing the pointers to the missing bits.

This fixes booting from CD using the d390.ins file; tested in Hercules for
both Lenny (31-bit kernel) and Squeeze (64-bit kernel).
Booting from CD using the d390.tdf file may still be broken (if possible at
all) as I have no idea how to test that.

    </h2>

    <p>An operating system is the set of basic programs and
    utilities that make your computer run. At the core of an
    operating system is the kernel. The kernel is the most
    fundamental program on the computer, which does all the basic
    housekeeping and lets you start other programs. Debian is
    kernel independent. It currently uses the <a href=
    "http://www.linux.org/">Linux</a> kernel but work is in
    progress to provide Debian for other kernels, using <a href=
    "http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd.html">the Hurd</a>. Most
    of the basic operating system tools come from the <a href=
    "http://www.gnu.org/">GNU project</a>; hence the name
    GNU/Linux.</p>

    <p>Debian is available for various kinds of computers
    (&ldquo;architectures&rdquo;), like &ldquo;IBM-compatible&rdquo; PCs (<em>i386</em>),
    Compaq's <em>Alpha</em>, Sun's <em>Sparc</em>, Motorola/IBM's
    <em>PowerPC</em>, and <em>(Strong)ARM</em> processors. Check the

    <p>After installing or upgrading, Debian's packaging system can
    use CDs, DVDs, local collections, or networked servers (FTP,
    HTTP) to automatically install software from (.deb
    <em>packages</em>). This is done preferably with the &lsquo;apt&rsquo; and
    &lsquo;aptitude&rsquo; programs.</p>

    <p>You can install packages from the commandline using
    apt-get. For example, if you want to install the
    packages &lsquo;commprog&rsquo; and &lsquo;maxgame&rsquo;, you can give the
    command:</p>

    <p>
#if OUTPUTtext
      &nbsp;
#endif
      <code>apt-get install commprog maxgame</code>

    <p>Note that you don't have to enter the complete path, or the
    &lsquo;.deb&rsquo; extension. &lsquo;Apt&rsquo; will figure this out
    itself.</p>

    <p>Or use aptitude for a full screen interactive selection of
