** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
+
+ When booting with iBFT, the network configuration is performed by open-iscsi
as part of initramfs.local-top instead of by klibc-ipconfig. This includes
populating /run/net-*.conf which is consumed among other things, by cloud-init.
+ Currently no attempt to determine PROTO is made, and PROTO=none is hard coded
into the file which cloud-init does not recognise and crashes out.
+ Further to this, open-iscsi in the current version (xenial through zesty)
does not correctly parse the iBFT origin into the boot protocol in "iscsistart
-f" and always returns "STATIC". This is fixed upstream.

+ [Test Case]

+ [Regression Potential]

+ [Original Description]
+
When booting with iBFT, the network configuration is performed by open-
iscsi as part of initramfs.local-top instead of by klibc-ipconfig. This
includes populating /run/net-*.conf which is consumed among other
things, by cloud-init.
Currently no attempt to determine PROTO is made, and PROTO=none is hard
coded into the file which cloud-init does not recognise and crashes out.
Further to this, open-iscsi in the current version (xenial through
zesty) does not correctly parse the iBFT origin into the boot protocol
in "iscsistart -f" and always returns "STATIC". This is fixed upstream.
