Currently, when a system is configured with an iSCSI device to a mount point,
the device is not mounted automatically at system boot.

Assuming:

/dev/sdc1 /data ext3 defaults,_netdev 0 0

where /dev/sdc is an iSCSI device.

I've noticed that the flow of init is:

1) Execute boot.localfs.
Here it tries to mount the iSCSI device but fails because that particular
device won't be present there because iSCSI service is not running.

2) Bring up the network

3) Bring up the iSCSI service.

Ideally, on seeing the _netdev option in /etc/fstab, the OS should hold the
mount of that particular device because it depends on the network.
And since it is an iSCSI device, IMO iSCSI service should run right after the
network service and before any application daemon service.

I also tried with the "nfsroot" option in /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth*
files but the issue is still there.

I also tried with:
Required-Start:    boot.udev network open-iscsi
but that still didn't solve the problem.
