ESXi boot slow/stalled/stuck at "iscsi_vmk loaded successfully"

Problem: ESXi boot slow/stalled/stuck at “iscsi_vmk loaded successfully”

Cause: Unfortunately this is normal due to:

• Dynamic Discovery.
• Software iSCSI Adapter LoginTimeout=XX causes XX second timeout for each Dynamic discovery.

Solution 1: Leave it alone !! (It's just slow.)
Solution 2: Reduce LoginTimeout (Dell recommends LoginTimeout=60, but that's a "long wait". Try 20.)
Solution 3: Make it all static. (Meh, too much work.)

Additional troublshooting: Alt+F12 for console logs.
