Description Flags
Add support for 'timeout=<value>' in zipl config none

Description Brad Hinson 2007-10-08 19:47:27 UTC 
Description of problem:
The man page for zipl.conf(5) mentions that 'timeout' is a valid parameter,
however, /sbin/zipl prints an error when this is specified:

# grep timeout /etc/zipl.conf 
timeout=7
# zipl
Using config file '/etc/zipl.conf'
Error: Config file '/etc/zipl.conf': Line 2: keyword 'timeout' not allowed in
section 'defaultboot'

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
s390utils-1.5.3-10.el5.14

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add timeout=7 (for example) to /etc/zipl.conf
2. Run /sbin/zipl as root
