[Bug 473036] Re: iscsi-root install will only use net0 for iscsi-target connectivity

[Colin Watson]

OK, new plan after talking to Scott.  Hardwiring device names into the
initramfs means that if you ever swap network cards and forget to
regenerate the initramfs then everything goes wrong.  Instead, we'll add
a facility to select network devices during initramfs network
configuration by MAC address (and fall back to the previous behaviour if
the MAC address selected that way doesn't exist).  The network device
might get renamed on entering the real system, but that's OK.
