strange is that it doesn't affect real iron installation ... although
the can be difference between LPAR (that's what Hercules emulates) and
z/VM guest.

the "reipl" step blocks other steps including setting up the network in
the installed image, see

root's password is needed after "chroot /mnt/sysimage"
