No much luck yet. So what I did:
1) Deleted all partitions from 160Gb drive and installed win 7 to it
with automatic partitioning
2) Launched iscsi initiator on fresh Win7, this enabled iSCSI service and
I've found LUNs on iscsitarget in initiator
3) Shutdown, attached HDD to iscsitarget server and setup iscsi
LUN as blockio
4) Diskless PC started to boot successfully from iSCSI target, at
least Starting Windows appears
5) After 1-2 minutes windows logo was shown
6) From this time I see no any activity in dstat on iscsi target.
Diskless PC waits for 3-4 minutes and reboots.
