nash does not support iBFT for boot from iSCSI
Issue
After installing RHEL-5.4 on iSCSI storage, the system is not able to boot, i.e. it can not find the / filesystem.
The initrd.img contains the following lines which instructs the system to get the network configuration from iBFT (instead of DHCP or static configuration):
echo Bringing up eth0
netname 00:22:19:57:05:CF eth0
network --device eth0 --bootproto ibft
echo Attaching to iSCSI storage
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4
- anaconda generated
