Hi, 

I'm starting this thread to help continue the discussion around implementing an option
allowing gpxe to attach to ISCSI targets in a persistent manner without booting from them. 
So far we have developed a patch that implements a "keep-san-nb" (keep san no boot) option.
While this patch works it might make sense to change the "sanboot" directive to something more generic
like "sanmount" then provide a boot option like "sanboot". This avoids the confusion around the "sanboot" 
option name directly implying booting. 

Any thoughts? 

Thanks
