iSCSI installation under karmic

Asked by sub.mesa

Reading the release notes of karmic alpha's it clearly marks improvements to iSCSI support during install. But when i try this with karmic alpha6 amd64 in a Virtualbox VM, when it gets to the partition phase it simply lists no partitions at all and no option to activate iSCSI initiator. The open-iscsi package was not installed when booting from the livecd, and installing it did not affect the installer in my case.

Anyone can point me how a diskless ubuntu system would be possible using the karmic installer? To be clear i want the Ubuntu system to have no local disks at all, and boot from PXE network and use iSCSI as protocol for a block-level storage device to install ubuntu to.

I had created a topic first on ubuntuforums, but no replies so far. It includes some additional information if you are curious.

Thanks to any who can shed some light on this. :)
