Well there you go.  There will be an S##iscsi symlink after you run that 
chkconfig command.  You just want to make sure it's in between network and 
nfs in the startup order.  If there's a flag or something to make sure it 
blocks and does not return until it correctly mounts a device or waits a set 
timeout period, that would be useful to require that the iscsi drive is 
mounted before it proceeds to other items in the startup process.

Actually, looking at the init script, it looks like it waits 30 by default 
after initiating the subsystem to let drives associate.  If that isn't long 
enough for you, you can set it explicitly in /etc/sysconfig/iscsi.
