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.
