[Bug 1251046] [NEW] open-iscsi ibft initrd boot script fails to bring up interface

[kralikba]

Public bug reported:

I'm trying to boot from an iSCSI Target via iPXE.

I have specified ISCSI_AUTO=true in /etc/iscsi/iscsi.initramfs, ran update-initramfs, but open-iscsi does not connect on boot.
Unfortunately, the iscsi initrd hook script is incorrect; if attempting iSCSI boot based on iBFT data, network interfaces are not brought up.

** Affects: open-iscsi (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
