Hello,

First of all I am very new to the gPXE. I have a Windows 7
installation which I want to boot diskless. In order to test it before
actually transferring it, I connected the Windows 7 drive to my server
and configured the iSCSI target as:
Target iqn.2009-07.98.10.168.192:iscsiboot
        Lun 0 Path=/dev/sdb1,Type=fileio

I tested it by connecting from another Windows computer, it can see
the disk from the network.

Later, I booted the system which I removed the drive with a gPXE
floppy. I issued the following commands:
dhcp net0
set keep-san 1
sanboot iscsi:192.168.10.98::::iqn.2009-07.98.10.168.192:iscsiboot

I get the message Booting as expected but immidiately after it hangs
with the error message:
"A Disk Read Error Occured. Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart"

What might be the problem?

Thanks for your help.
