I'm using a targets iscsi to remote virtual machines boot using debian
initramfs-tools. The parameter is passed in virtual machines config
files. You certainly needs change the cmdline size into the kernel to
suport more that 256 characters. See more about in
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=419408
