Hi Chris,=0A=
=0A=
Seems like El Torito boot information is not present in the ISO file=0A=
(for Debian). Not sure if this was omitted out on purpose (because=0A=
I can see that it is being added for x86 in the debian-cd repo in salsa).=
=0A=
According to qemu docs, El-Torito boot information is required for =0A=
qemu to boot the ISO=0A=
(https://qemu.weilnetz.de/doc/6.0/system/s390x/bootdevices.html)=0A=
=0A=
Will update further if I find anything else.=0A=
=0A=
Thanks,=0A=
