Are you sure you're bringing up the network interface before
trying to start iscsi-boot? Put an 'ifconfig eth0' in your
initrd.

(You need to enable CONFIG_IP_PNP if you want to set the ip
address on the command line)

I'd get strace on your initrd and start both commands under
strace.

Are you sure you've got the scsi, sd and iscsi_sfnet modules all
loaded OK? (stick cat /proc/modules in your initrd).

To make life easy for myself I've often got initrd's working
using bash before switching to nash to save memory. ldd will tell
you what libraries you need to copy across.
