The given devices will be ignored by the common I/O-layer; no detection
and device sensing will be done on any of those devices. The subchannel to
device numbers (0xabcd or abcd, for 2.4 backward compatibility). If you
give a device number 0xabcd, it will be interpreted as 0.0.abcd.
- You can use the 'all' keyword to ignore all devices. The 'ipldev' keyword can
- be used to refer to the CCW based boot device (this is probably useful only
- when combined with the '!' operator). The '!' operator will cause the I/O-layer
- to _not_ ignore a device. The command line is parsed from left to right.
+ You can use the 'all' keyword to ignore all devices. The 'ipldev' and 'condev'
