====== sanbootconf ======

===== Introduction =====

//sanbootconf// is the Windows SAN Boot Configurator.  It allows you to boot Windows XP over the network using iSCSI.

//sanbootconf// is implemented as a boot-time driver that configures your NIC and instructs the boot-capable Microsoft iSCSI Initiator to perform an iSCSI boot.  It is designed to be a drop-in replacement for Microsoft's //iscsibp.sys//.  If you are trying to boot Windows XP via iSCSI, then you will need to use //sanbootconf//, since //iscsibp.sys// requires Windows Server 2003 or later.

===== Downloading =====

You can download //sanbootconf// from [[http://git.etherboot.org/releases/sanbootconf/]].  The most recent version will always be available as [[http://git.etherboot.org/releases/sanbootconf/sanbootconf-latest.zip|sanbootconf-latest.zip]].

Source code is available from [[http://git.etherboot.org/?p=sanbootconf.git]].
