(Get the code!)
The package has some tests that are meant to do iscsi root but can't be executed fully automated.
With those one can try iscsi-root rather easy (not really easy, but better than from scratch).
$ pull-lp-source open-iscsi
$ cd open-iscsi-2.1.3/
$ PATH=$PWD/
$ get-image hirsute.d hirsute
$ sudo ./debian/
$ tgt-boot-test -v hirsute.d/disk.img hirsute.d/kernel hirsute.d/initrd
# At this point this boots off the iscsi root and one can log in with ubuntu/passw0rd
This is using overlayroot like:
sda 8:0 0 2.2G 1 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 2.1G 1 part /media/root-ro
├─sda14 8:14 0 4M 1 part
└─sda15 8:15 0 106M 1 part
Mounted like:
/dev/sda1 on /media/root-ro type ext4 (ro,relatime)
tmpfs-root on /media/root-rw type tmpfs (rw,relatime,
overlayroot on / type overlay (rw,relatime,

This is a transient setup, but it should run the same hooks shouldn't it?
In any case it does not have the same hang, the guest shuts down even it failing.
To be fair the finalrd has issues, but not a full hang.

@Michael - do you think we need a R/W iSCSI root to experience the full hang that you reported?
@Michael - I tested Hirsute (21.04), which version did you run on (maybe it differs between them)?
