Works!   Works just fine on 31-bit.   (And you already tested 64.)
I was able to switch root volumes in a pinch with

        ipl 1b0 clear parm root=/dev/dasdc

where my default parm file would have the *effect* of

        ipl 1b0 clear parm root=/dev/dasdb

I was delighted to see that the appeneded PARM
overrode the preceeding parameters,  but expected as much!
In other words,  my /proc/cmdline with the PARM override now contains

 dasd=1b0-1bf,2b0-2bf,190-19f,319 root=/dev/dasdb ro noinitrd root=/dev/dasdc

So the latter "root=" takes precedence.   This is FANTASTIC.
