(I am not sure if this is the correct package to report this to, or if
there is a separate package for the debian-installer component. Please
reassign as appropriate.)
In the Debian installer, while editing partitions, one has a chance to
connect to iSCSI targets. However, nowhere does the installer ask for
the iSCSI initiator name during this process. Some targets require a
specific initiator name to be used (to avoid initiators discovering
devices that aren't relevant to them) and currently, using those targets
during installation requires switching to a secondary VT and manually
editing files.
It would be helpful for the installer to ask if a specific initiator
name is required, and then configure both the installer environment and
the target system to have that name.
