Go ahead. The Debian S/390 installer is almost a friendly penguin so you
should be okay.

  The Debian S/390 port installation guide says

  "Since Debian Squeeze, support for booting in ESA/390 mode was dropped.
Your machine needs to support for at least the z/Architecture, Architecture
Level Set 2."

  I take this to mean that Debian no longer runs on a real S/390 machine but
requires a zSeries of some sort.   Does that work with Hercules?

Hello!
Actually yes. Hercules will emulate everything within reason up to the
latest of the family members. Those are being added as the developers
work on that little detail.

For what Sampsa is planning he should have no problems outside of the
usual ones.
