Bug#923646: debian-installer: iSCSI partitions not marked as _netdev in /etc/fstab



Control: notfound -1 20190302-5

(This isn't a version in the archive, so removing the version.)

Thanks for your report.

I'd be happy to get some input from the Debian iSCSI maintainers before
changing anything on the d-i side. Are those _netdev additions mandatory
and/or welcome?
