I'm trying to use the "menu" functionality that zipl provides.  It

from zipl seems to indicate that when I reboot I'll get the menu, but
instead it just immediately boots the default kernel.  My

Here's mine, which does work:

sargedev:~# cat /etc/zipl.conf
[defaultboot]
defaultmenu = menu

:menu
target = /boot
1 = debian
2 = old
default = 1
prompt = 1
timeout = 10

[debian]
target = /boot
image = /boot/vmlinuz
parameters = ro vmpoff="LOGOFF" dasd=0150,0151 root=/dev/dasda1
devfs=nomount

[old]
target = /boot
image = /boot/vmlinuz.old
parameters = ro vmpoff="LOGOFF" dasd=0150,0151 root=/dev/dasda1
devfs=nomount
optional = 1
