(Get the code!)
The server daily build ISO indeed worked, it did prompt me for iSCSI and install was a breeze, though setting up the network boot and mount root part is not. Some more documentation on this would be nice, especially now that Ubuntu has more or less "out of the box" support for iSCSI. For example, perhaps an initrd-iscsi.img file could be included on the cd. This is what people will need to make the mount root stuff working.
Also, is it intended that the desktop cd has no options to install to iSCSI targets, only the server cd? Or will this be resolved for the final release? If you ask me, the desktop cd wasn't very friendly to newbies, as it gave me an empty partition window when no disks are detected. This can happen in consumer systems if their controller is not connected, or if they want to install to network like me. Perhaps in the case of no disks being detected, the user should be given a warning screen explaining no local disks were detected, with the possibility to install to an iSCSI-target (and AoE or ATA-over-Ethernet would also be nice).
Cheers!
