Would it be easier if there was a /sysfs entry that told anaconda
about the presence of iBFT? And if there was any pertinent information then 
anaconda would extract the information from /sysfs instead of searching in
/dev/mem?

This could also have the extra benefit of initrd shell script being
able to parse the /sysfs and constructing the pertient iSCSI target
information dynamically (and running iscsiadm with those gathered
date) instead of having the values hard-coded as they are now.
