I just wanted to chime in and inform you that iscsistart -b (flag available in recent open-iscsi) should connect iSCSI targets according to iBFT data. Not sure how well it works, as I haven't tried it yet. iscsistart -N can be used to bring up the network from iBFT data also, and iscsistart -f will print iBFT debug data to the screen. It is all in the iscsistart(8) man page.

Unfortunately the feature is too new to be present in Ubuntu 10.04. Sad
