And you saw the "Cards that may not work with this" at 
http://www.etherboot.org/wiki/sanboot/win7

And the note here 
http://www.etherboot.org/wiki/sanboot/win2k8_iscsi_install#starting_the_installation 
and the referenced article here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/KB933925

And the last section here 
http://www.etherboot.org/wiki/sanboot/win2k8_iscsi_install#what_to_do_if_the_installation_saysensure_that_the_disk_s_controller_is_enabled_in_the_computer_s_bios_menu

If I recall correctly, Thomas Miletich might have noticed that the BIOS' 
HDD settings (SATA/IDE emulation) might have something to do with it.  
There might have been something about having an actual HDD in the unit 
or not having it in, just during installation.  I can't seem to track 
down the exact correspondence, sorry.
