[Bug 623462] Re: install to iSCSI target does not pick up iSCSI parameters from iBFT

[Max]

As a workaround I was trying to add a simple pre-installation script to
our (kickstart) installation along the lines of:

==
modprobe iscsi_ibft

if [ -e /sys/firmware/ibft/target0/target-name ]; then

  modprobe iscsi_tcp
  iscsid

  iscsiadm -m node -o new -T `cat /sys/firmware/ibft/target0/target-name` -p `cat /sys/firmware/ibft/target0/ip-addr`:`cat /sys/firmware/ibft/target0/port`
  iscsiadm -m node -l

fi
==

But found out that doesn't work either, because the iscsi_ibft module is
not present in the installation environment.

Could this module please be added?

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: base-installer

  Installing 10.04.1 server to iSCSI target on a machine with BIOS iSCSI
  initiator support (IBM HX5 blade), the installer prompts for iSCSI
  parameters (initiator ID, target ID, etc) even though those parameters
  are available in the iBFT table.  Other linux distros pick up this
  information automatically,
