I only connect to iSCSI target using a single initiator at a time, I'm aware 
that most file systems aren't network filesystems.
I already tried 2 targets, both exhibit the same problem (even after 
restarting target service or server):
-centos5.3 ietd
-server 2008x64: microsoft iscsi software target


I have 2 guesses why MS-DOS can't write to disc:

-There's no scsi driver loaded in DOS, and DOS only has limited built-in 
SCSI read capabilities to just start and get scsi driver loaded.
-The gpxe boot rom is read-only,  after OS gets started more advanced 
drivers should take over , giving write capabilities

Again, these are just guesses.

Seems like AoE is the way to go, since this just simulates ata disk, which 
should work right away
