[gPXE] Windows 7 and gpxe iSCSI diskless boot

[Stefan Mosoi]

So ... after i install win 7 on the iscsi target from the dvd it reboots
and :
DHCP (net XX:XX:XX:XX:XX) ... ok
net0: 10.10.10.22/255.255.255.0 gw 10.10.10.1
Booting from root path "iscsi:10.10.10.1::::freebsd:target0" (my iscsi image)
Registered as BIOS drive 0x80
Booting from BIOS drive 0x80

after that the screen blinks as loading windows but the screen remains with the Windows 7 Logo (Starting Windows)

On the server i use:
 - FreeBSD
 - ZFS for the storage
 - isc-dhcpd 
 - istgt 0.2 (20100125) for iSCSI

It loads the image, and when the client it connects:

sock = 8 , addr=10.10.10.1, peer=10.10.10.22
drop old connections freebsd:target0 by iqn.2000-09.org.etherboot:unknown,1,0x400272230000
Login from iqn.2000-09.org.etherboot:unknown (10.10.10.22) on freebsd:target0 LU1 (10.10.10.1:3260,1) ISID=40002723000, TSIH=1 CID=0 HeaderDigest-off DataDigest=off
Connections(tsih 1): 0

Thanks, 
Stefan Mosoi

Can you be more specific?  When precisely does it hang?  What is displayed on 
screen at the time of the hang?
