Just an observation that maybe the /dev/disk-by-path stuff is a useful way of describing what you want to boot reliably
for me in my test setup I have:
ip-192.168.122.10:3260-iscsi-iqn.2008-09.com.example:server1.share1-lun1-part1
as one of the names in there; certainly the iscsi iqn seems not an unreasonable way to identify what you want to boot from.
Including the IP is probably more questionable, given you probably want to multipath and cope with booting when all but 1 path is down.
