In https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/0.133ubuntu3 in
eoan+ manual chzdev -e got added to activate qeth devices, if they have
been specified in the ip= command, i.e. if enc300 is the device in the
ip= command.
This has not been backported to bionic.
To boot without specifying the device name, i.e. with just mac address
one will need automatic chzdev device configuration via
/sys/firmware/sclp_sd/config/data that was added in s390-tools v2.5.0
fist available in cosmic+
but that also needs kernel support for sclp_sd driver to exist, i.e
first added in v4.16.
Thus if one wants this support one will need to backport
1) initramfs-tools changes
2) s390-tools changes
3) linux sclp_sd driver from linux-hwe to GA
