While investigating failures related to the recent ubuntu jammy dnsmasq[0] issues. We stumbled upon a CI job which was executing the ironic_tempest_plugin.tests.scenario.ironic_standalone.test_ramdisk_iso.BaremetalRamdiskBootIsoVMedia test scenario. It *appears* that we never performed virtual media configuration, likely because for this test to work the boot_interface would have needed to be redfish-virtual-media. It appears the test did not update it either (need to check if it is supposed to, or not.)
The test did the right thing, Setting the iso in the instance_info filed:
"instance_info": {"boot_iso": "http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/tinycorelinux/14.x/x86/release/Core-current.iso"},
Response payload towards the end of the test:

It *really* looks like somehow we just started with the wrong boot_interface setting. :\
