It doesn't work:

...
Booting from BIOS drive 0x80
...Error!.

That's all.

If it was connected to XP with iSCSI Initiator, XP complains about
the drive not formatted. Interesting ...

I don't know whether I did the right steps putting the image on FreeNAS:
1. I gzipped the image
2. scp to FreeNAS in my home dir
3. gzip -d image
4. stopped iSCSI service
5. mv image to the right place for iscsi and renamed to the original
name which was configured
6. started iscsi service
7. checked iscsi is running

TIA,
Ruzsi
