I've installed cosmic on a DPM LPAR using the daily build ISO 
"cosmic-server-s390x.iso" (dated 2018-08-23). The installed system (kernel 
4.17.0-7-generic, s390-tools 2.6.0-0ubuntu3) correctly applied 
auto-configuration data:

$ lsinitramfs /boot/initrd.img | grep zdev
sbin/chzdev
sbin/lszdev
scripts/init-top/s390-tools-zdev
$ sudo lszdev --auto-conf
TYPE       ID                          AUTO
dasd-eckd  0.0.1000                    yes
dasd-eckd  0.0.1001                    yes
...

So that is working as expected.

The install system on the other hand DID NOT correctly apply auto-
configuration data - all device IDs needed to be input manually. Looking
at the install system I found that kernel-support is available, but the
initramfs logic that applies the kernel data (scripts/init-top/s390
-tools-zdev) is not present in the install initramfs:

$ sudo mount cosmic-server-s390x.iso /mnt -o loop,ro
$ lsinitramfs /mnt/boot/initrd.ubuntu | grep zdev
sbin/lszdev
sbin/chzdev

It appears that the install system is not including initramfs scripts at
all.

@Canonical: What is the correct approach for extending the installer
initramfs system to run the missing logic?
