Title:
  open-iscsi ignores iBFT

Status in “open-iscsi” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: open-iscsi

  When installing to an iSCSI target in Ubuntu Karmic, the target
  name,IP,port are written to the filesystem; at boot time the iscsi
  script in the ramfs only considers the contents of this file - it
  never runs "iscsistart -b" (which reads everything from the iBFT in
  memory). the "-b" argument has long been supported by iscsistart
  binary in Ubuntu, however it's simply not being called by the shell
  script

  We frequently install operating systems to be used as gold master
  images on our SAN; when doing this we clone an install. Currently we
  have to make 2 changes: one to remove the target name from the
  iscsi.initramfs config file, the other to modify scripts/local-
  top/iscsi so that it will fall back to using the iBFT in the absence
  of the config data.
