adds support for multiple iscsi disks with the syntax:

root=<normal block path or UUID or LABEL>  \
netroot=iscsi:...  netroot=iscsi:... netroot=iscsi:...

which is suboptimal, because you can't specify it in the dhcp protocol.

A better syntax would be a single netroot (also for FCoE disk) something like:

netroot=netdisks:iscsi:...[separator]iscsi:...[separator]fcoe:...

be warned that DHCP option format is generally
code: 1 byte
lenght: 1 byte
data: lenght bytes

which would limit the lenght of the netroot string to 255 charachters
anyway.
