[ipxe-devel] Booting diskless Ubuntu from iSCSI

[Oliver Rath]

Hi Robert,

first, your ipxe config for installation looks good.

You need to install the open-iscsi package into your ubuntu-installation
and update your initramfs. I didnt find this in your preseed file.

Furthermore, the kernel-parameter matching imho lowercase only (taken
from /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/iscsi from the
open-iscsi package).

Hth,
Oliver
