Bug description:
  Testing on Quantal Final RC's

  installing iso to iscsi root fails to boot, and is stuck in bootloader
  (busybox initramfs shell)

  Last screen output is:

  
  Begin: Running /scripts/init-premount ... done.

  Gave up waiting for root device.  Common problems:
   - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
    - Check rootdelay=
    - Check root=
   - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules)
  ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/bbc5a7be-...... does not exist.
  Dropping to a shell!

  
  Used to be, to work around this issue, I could just run /scripts/local-top/iscsi manually, since the nic seems to get setup AFTER the local-top scripts run, but that isn't working anymore, instead I get the below:

  IP-Config: eth0 hardware address .......
  IP-Config: eth0 complete (dhcp from 192.168.x.x):
    address: 192.168.x.x  broadcast: 192.168.x.x   netmask: 255.255.255.0

  I have also check /etc/iscsi.initramfs and /etc/initiatorname.iscsi
  and the settings in there are good.
