It is common on x86 and other architectures to install a guest from
|
|
network by using "--boot hd,network" with virt-install - as long as
|
|
the hard disk is not bootable yet, the installation will be started
|
|
via network, and once it finished, the guest can boot from hd during
|
|
the next reboot.
|
|
|
|
However, this does not work on s390x since this architecture only
|
|
supports one single boot device to be passed to the guest. Thus add
|
|
a note to the documentation to avoid that people are running again
|
|
into this common pitfall.
