Shao, Andrey,

Will that work? I was about to suggest he remove the MBR from the drive. I thought that the MBR code that loads Windows Boot Manager stops the boot process entirely when the boot manager isn't found.

Well, Andrey, if what Shao says will work, then do that. If not, connect to your iSCSI target using a working system and remove the MBR from it and you'll get your desired result. The "startup repair" section of your Windows CD should fix the issue.

Good day Andrey,



In regards to your request to use gPXE to register a drive but not boot

from it, the "Install direct to SAN" link from the "HowTo Guides" lands

you here[1]. That might help for understanding the "keep-san" setting

and how it can be used to maintain the iSCSI connection after control

returns back to gPXE from an unbootable MBR.



If you have a valid MBR on the SAN and no active partitions, return

should control back to gPXE.
