It hangs forever. When using the normal boot, the logo stays forever.
When using the safe mode, the list of drivers stays forever.

You can consider me as following the guide:
http://etherboot.org/wiki/sanboot/transfer since I want to migrate an
existing system to a network boot solution. The only difference is I
am not creating an image from the hard drive. I am directly connecting
the hard drive to the iscsi-target and I believe this should not make
a difference.
