If we have root=dhcp and root-path from dhcp with "iscsi::... " nothing

RFC:
provide a pre-mount fallback, which tries to mount

/dev/disk/by-label/\x2f (LABEL=/)
/dev/disk/by-label/ROOT (LABEL=ROOT)
I think this was the intent of netroot=dhcp for remote block device
protocols, then you can define something else in root=. Whether it is
implemented yet I don't know.

Well, but the root-path does not specify the root partition!
Either we extend the iscsi:::: spec with a root partition or we make
requirements like I did above.

The RFC only says we need to boot off the LUN specified, 0 if none
listed. That's your default partition.

ok, so the LUN is the partition number?
