  [Testing]
  I use the iscsi boot option for testing iscsi root installations; using this latest upstream snapshot I was able to complete this testing as iPXE was able to boot from the iscsi devices.
  
  [Original Bug Report]
  During iscsi root testing for quantal beta-1 I was unable to use ipxe to boot installed iSCSI root images backed by tgt.
  
  Switching to the latest upstream snapshot fixed my issue so I think its
  worth considering a FFe for ipxe to fix this (and maybe other) issues as
  its not been updated since February 2012.
