[PATCH rhel5] Update kickstart-docs iscsi commands information (#525136)

- Date: Thu, 4 Mar 2010 10:58:43 +0100
Update kickstart-docs iscsi commands information. While at it I also
noticed that the example value for harddrive --biospart is wrong (does
not include a partition number) so I've fixed that too.

- iscsi --ipaddr= [options]
+ Specifies additional iSCSI storage to be attached during

+ assign a name to the iSCSI node, using the iscsiname parameter.
+ The iscsiname parameter must appear before the iscsi
+ parameter in the kickstart file.

+ iscsi --ipaddr=<addr> [other-options]
+
+ We recommend that wherever possible you configure iSCSI storage in
+ the system BIOS or firmware (iBFT for Intel systems) rather than use
+ the iscsi parameter. *Anaconda* automatically detects and uses
+ disks configured in BIOS or firmware and no special configuration is
+ necessary in the kickstart file.
+
+ If you must use the iscsi parameter, ensure that networking is
+ activated at the beginning of the installation, and that the
+ iscsi parameter appears in the kickstart file before you refer
+ to iSCSI disks with parameters such as clearpart or ignoredisk.

+
+ Assigns a name to an iSCSI node specified by the iscsi parameter. If
