I prefer the reference partition, but what's even better are the RS/6000
machines that have the reference software burned into the ROMs, and
accessible from the ROM monitor.

than Plug an Play. PnP doesn't let you choose any
settings. Not having jumpers is a nice way to have it too. Plus not
all PS/2s use the referance partition (IML).
Some like my 8573-121 use a reference disk instead. Anytime
you add or remove a board you use the setup disk to copy the
appropriate ADF file to that disk and it sets it up. I think it's a
bit easier to manage than the reference partition.
