You need to run the zipl command on the respective disk to rebuild the boot area. Note that this can be done from another Linux system as well by doing the following: 1. mount the disk in question 2. chroot mountpoint 3. zipl or using the zipl command line parameters: 1. mount the disk in question 2. zipl -t mountpoint/boot -i /mountpoint/boot/image -p /mountpoint/boot/parmfile (filenames may vary depending on distribution) Note also that starting with the zipl version contained in the s390-tools 1.3.0 package, there is an interactive boot menu available which can be used to select an alternate configuration or to append additional parameters to the kernel command line at boot time (see respective zipl man pages).
