5.3.3. Installation with iBFT
In order to setup iSCSI based on the iBFT (iSCSI Boot Firmware Table) on the installation and boot, append these options at the installer prompt (or to the preseed file):
disk-detect/ibft/enable=true partman-iscsi/iscsi_auto=true
This should probe for iBFT information and configure network interface(s) and iSCSI target(s) accordingly during the installation, and configure system boot (initramfs) to do that too in order to find the root device.
The support for iBFT is available in the debian-installer on netboot images as of 2019-06-20 and (expected) on ISO images for the 18.04.3 point release and later.
