You can clean this up a little bit.  Also, by adding "OSAHWAddr=" to it, you 
won't get prompted for it by the installer.
term=dumb vmpoff=logoff hostname= mf-syssoft1 hostip=10.17.1.xxx
usessh=1 sshpassword=pppppppp OSAHWaddr=
gateway=10.17.1.129 nameserver=999.24.8.126 netmask=255.255.255.192
instnetdev=osa osainterface=qdio layer2=1 portno=0
readchannel=0.0.1f00 writechannel=0.0.1f01 datachannel=0.0.1f02
install=nfs://10.17.1.yyy/media/s390x/sles12sp2/dvd1
linuxrclog=/dev/console manual=0

If you have a DHCP server that is set up to handle your guests, you can 
simplify it even more:
term=dumb vmpoff=logoff
usessh=1 sshpassword=pppppppp 
dhcp portno=0 instnetdev=osa osainterface=qdio layer2=1 OSAHWaddr=
readchannel=0.0.1f00 writechannel=0.0.1f01 datachannel=0.0.1f02
install=nfs://10.17.1.yyy/media/s390x/sles12sp2/dvd1
linuxrclog=/dev/console manual=0
