Your assumption is correct.
I've just added the SCSI menu option from arch/i386/config.in
(see attached), and built a xenolinux with SCSI and SCSI disk
support compiled in. I'm not sure how you enable iSCSI support
(of indeed if the standard kernel even has iSCSI support).
Exporting disks to domains via iSCSI would be cool. There's
always the alternative of the much simpler 'enbd', but iSCSI
sounds nicer. I wander if there's support for iSCSI root devices?
(if not, it's possible something could be bodged with an initrd
initial ramdisk).
