Last time I check, using iscsi target directly in domU is still slower
compared to importing it on dom0 :P
That being said, a workaround I use for Linux domU is to have a small
/boot on dom0 (it could be an iscsi share mounted on dom0 if you
like), and let domU access the big iscsi share directly during
installation. Not ideal, but enough for testing purposes.
