man/virt-install: Add a note about different behavior of --boot on s390x
It is common on x86 and other architectures to install a guest from
network by using "--boot hd,network" with virt-install - as long as
the hard disk is not bootable yet, the installation will be started
via network, and once it finished, the guest can boot from hd during
the next reboot.
However, this does not work on s390x since this architecture only
supports one single boot device to be passed to the guest. Thus add
a note to the documentation to avoid that people are running again
into this common pitfall.
