Automating the 3270 part of a Debian System z install

From <http://debblog.philkern.de/2015/08/automating-3270-part-of-debian-system-z.html>: “This will load the alternate kernel parameters file into the card reader, while still loading the original kernel and initrd files.” “(note the 80 character column limit)” Nope, not from the last century, but from the last month. This is how you run Linux on a “modern” IBM mainframe.

And for those too young to know where an 80-character column limit might come from, that‘s a punch-card reader, not an SD-card reader.
