Title:
  [UBUNTU 20.04]  - zipl command doesn't work correctly with -M option

  New

Bug description:
  Zipl command doesn't work correctly with -M option.
  There is an error at preparing of multi-volume dump taking because of Bus-ID for 1st disk partition listed in file dump_conf (DEVLIST) isn't found. At the same time LSDASD command shows this Bus-ID and ZIPL command with -d option works correctly.
