Make zipl tool prepare ECKD DASD for booting by different IPL
programs (with the same boot record installed).
Besides standard CCW-type IPL, user gets an ability to trigger
(with the same boot record installed!) List-Directed IPL. This
allows to use the feature of secure boot from ECKD DASD (which
is not available for CCW-type IPL).
When using the old boot interfaces, the usual CCW-type IPL is
triggered for DASD. Also for compatibility reasons zipl(8) tool
is modified to create and install one, or two "similar" program
tables per boot partition, depending on job and disk type. The
"similar" program tables differ only in block pointers format.
The old IPL programs (CCW-type IPL) use program table based on the
old format.
All program tables are packed to the same bootmap file. Their
order and logical offsets in the file are not significant (not
used by anyone).
The picture below shows which program table is used for IPL of
specified type from disk of specified type. Here "0" and "1" are
identifiers of program tables based on the old and new block
pointers format respectively. E.g. program table "0" is used for
CCW-type IPL from ECKD DASD. LD-IPL from DASD FBA is unsupported
(respectively, only one program table "0" is used), etc.
CCW-IPL LD-IPL
SCSI X 0
DASD FBA 0 X
ECKD DASD LDL 0 X
ECKD DASD CDL 0 1
