It would be pretty nice to have support for booting from an iSCSI disk.
This could be used as a quick way to test the iSCSI infrastructure.
This requires, at least, the iscsi_ibft module.

For reference, currently, this fails to find the rootfs as:

If you propose a patch to add the module, github will create image artifacts for you that you can use to test this scenario. If you document how it works, we could consider adding it to the official release, then.
