Okay, I have success building the open-iscsi userspace from source.

$ git clone git://github.com/mikechristie/open-iscsi.git
# HEAD is at commit dd73b7d12b6bc5f4f4d08c2ac7dcfc5f00f6fd29
$ cd open-iscsi
$ make
$ make install
$ update-initramfs -c -k all
# manually copy /boot/init* to the appropriate iscsi target via scp to the 
fileserver itself

Now, after booting, 'ps -ef | grep iscsi' shows two instances of iscsid
running. 'iscsiadm -m session -P 1' returns the expected output, and I
can mount my /boot just fine.

I have not tried backing out Mark's "initramfs patch to roll in iscsid".

One strange thing is that my client (ahem.. initiator) connected to all
of the available targets on the iscsi server, not just the one of
interest to me.  So far no harm done, so I may not spend the time to
track it down.

Thanks Mark, for the tips.

Regards,
-Jon
