Bug Description
During installation, an iSCSI initiator ID is generated using the iscsi-iname utility, but the user is never given an opportunity to configure the iSCSI target to allow that ID to access the storage. This could be fixed by either A) displaying the target ID that will be used and pausing the installation until the user can set up the iSCSI target to allow that ID, or B) allowing the user to specify a particular target ID to be used instead of using the output of iscsi-iname. Even better would be to do both A and B to allow the most flexibility.
Also, whatever iSCSI ID is used during the install should be configured in the installation target filesystem so that when the system reboots the same ID is used.

Moving this over to partman-iscsi, where I think this probably belongs now that that exists in Karmic.
