The zipl configuration file
A zipl configuration file comprises a default section and one or more sections with IPL configurations. In addition, there can be sections that define menu configurations.
- [defaultboot]
- a default section that defines what is to be done if the configuration file is called without a section specification.
- [<configuration>]
- one or more sections that describe IPL configurations.
- :<menu_name>
- optionally, one or more menu sections that describe menu configurations.
A configuration file section consists of a section identifier and one or more option lines. Option lines are valid only as part of a section. Blank lines are permitted, and lines that begin with the number sign (#) are treated as comments and ignored. Option specifications consist of keyword=value pairs. There can but need not be blanks before and after the equal sign (=) of an option specification.
