While I admit that the wording of the respective man-pages is somewhat vague, I don't agree with your statement that the man page describes a feature which is not supported by the software: The man page of zipl versions 1.2.0-1.2.4 contain references to a feature which allows specifying multiple boot configurations with the addition that: "If supported by the hardware, an interactive choice of these configurations will be available at boot time, otherwise the menu's default entry is booted." "Hardware support" in this context refers to the extended HMC panel used during IPL from SCSI devices. This panel contains an extra input field that can be used to specify a non-default boot configuration. I guess it's this section together with the ambiguity of the term "menu" that caused the misunderstanding (I'll try to keep the text more clearer in the future). Anyway, I hope that with the new version, the feature works as expected for you.
