Yes, since Red Hat got their code from the same place we did. :)
You'll need to make changes similar to this:
--- zipl.conf.20071102 2007-11-02 14:30:44.000000000 -0400
+++ zipl.conf 2007-11-14 17:52:40.000000000 -0500

[ipl]

Note the "timeout = 10" parameter. You can set that to a different number of
seconds if you so wish. The same should be true on RHEL.
