It looks fairly difficult and might not even be possible given how the kernel seems to work in this area, but, in the meantime, if you want to suggest a small addition to Red Hat's documentation, that'd be nice. The relevant section of the Installation Guide is located here:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/installation_guide/sect-parameter-configuration-files-samples-s390 I suggest adding these sentences just below the generic.prm example (assuming I've got this information correct): "Give your new parameter file a name meaningful to your installation practices and standards. All parameters in your parameter file must be specified within the first line using only spaces between parameters. This single line can be practically any length. If your text editor wraps lines on screen (as shown in the above example), please make sure your editor does not insert any line breaks (LF or CR/LF) between parameters." I can definitely see how this part of the Installation Guide is confusing. The example certainly looks like line breaks are acceptable or even required.
