Documentation added in the temporary location:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/S390X

>From there -> there is link to automating installations with preseeds ->
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/S390X/InstallationGuide/AutomatedInstallsWithPreseed
which lists s390-dasd/dasd keys and auto_format/force_format.

Subsequently this will be moved to the Installer guide. This task should
be considered as fixed.

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Enable preseeding activation of dasd drives, and formating them
  with dasdfmt. Otherwise, unattended installation cannot be preseeded.

  [Test Case]

   * perform unattanded installation onto dasd drives:
   - single, unformatted
   - single, formatted
   - single, formatted, force reformat
   - multiple dasd drives

  [Regression Potential]

   * Interractive code path is unchanged, when no keys are preseeded.
  Code follows closely s390-zfcp preseed logic.

  [Other Info]
   
   * New preseed keys:

  d-i s390-dasd/dasd string 0.0.0200,0.0.0201
  d-i s390-dasd/auto_format boolean false
  (true, if dasd key used above)
  d-i s390-dasd/force_format boolean false

  
  == Comment: #1 - Ekaterina Teplova <KATE@xxxxxxxxxx> - 2016-04-20 05:41:13 ==
  Installer version 20101020ubuntu431
  Started installation with preseed file. Installation stops at formatting step (s390-dasd preseed statement).

  Attaching syslog and hardware-summary.

  Could you please document in Release Notes the following restriction
  for Ubuntu16.04:

  "It is currently not possible to perform a fully unattended
  installation on DASD devices."
