As far as I know, the Debian CD ISO images are not bootable on s390x
(they do not contain boot information according to the El-Torrito
standard). Please open a bug against Debian instead if you want to have
that changed. So far, you have to boot here manually instead (see
http://people.redhat.com/~thuth/blog/qemu/2017/12/19/install-fedora.html
for some more information).

Title:
"No zIPL section in IPL2 record" error when emulating Debian 10.5.0 on
s390x
Status in QEMU:
Invalid
Bug description:
Hi,
I want to emulate Debian 10.5.0 for the s390x architecture on an
Ubuntu x86_64 host.
The Debian image is downloaded from the following link:
https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/s390x/iso-cd/debian-10.5.0-s390x-netinst.iso
Using the latest QEMU version 5.1.0, the Debian image is emulated using the
given command:
qemu-system-s390x -boot d -m 4096 -hda debian.qcow -cdrom
debian-10.5.0-s390x-netinst.iso -nographic
Running the command causes the output below:
LOADPARM=[ ]
Using virtio-blk.
Using guessed DASD geometry.
Using ECKD scheme (block size 4096), CDL
! No zIPL section in IPL2 record. !
Using exactly the same qemu command above with the Alpine 3.12 image
for s390x ran successfully without any errors.
