Please file this problem against documentation or installation documentation.

From s390-zfcp.templates as implemented by IBM in Debian:

Template: s390-zfcp/zfcp
Type: string
Description: for internal use; preseeding only
 Enables one ore more SCSI devices for the installation. Use the
 comma (,) to separate multiple entries. An entry consists of a
 zfcp host adapter only or a zfcp host adapter followed by the WWPN
 and LUN, separated by a colon (:). For example,
 0.0.1234,0.0.5678:0x2005000e11159c32:0x1234567800000000

I guess this information should be added to the installation guide, in both debian and ubuntu.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseNotes#IBM_z_Systems_and_LinuxONE_specific_known_issues

until the official installation guide for all architectures is updated, you may find all required preseed zfcp information here on that wiki page:

This bug was fixed in the package installation-guide - 20160121ubuntu6

  * build/preseed.pl: also replace the arch-title entity in preseed with
    the short arch name -- that's all we'll need in the preseed examples.

Found some minor issues in the representation of special ASCII characters in the PDF version and some lines that were to long and run into the border.
Fixed that with revision 550.
Content-wise everything is fine.
Changing tags accordingly.
