Public bug reported:

Hi,

I want to emulate Debian 10.5.0 for the s390x architecture. 
The Debian image is downloaded from the following link:
https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/s390x/iso-cd/debian-10.5.0-s390x-netinst.iso
 

Using the latest QEMU version 5.1.0, running the debian image using the given 
command:
qemu-system-s390x -boot d -m 4096 -hda debian.qcow -cdrom 
debian-10.5.0-s390x-netinst.iso -nographic

causes the error output below:

LOADPARM=[        ]
Using virtio-blk.
Using guessed DASD geometry.
Using ECKD scheme (block size  4096), CDL

! No zIPL section in IPL2 record. !
