Hi Ansgar, I recently had to solve the same issue. You need to use the gPXE commandline with the following: dhcp net0 set keep-san 1 sanboot iscsi:<iscsi server ip>::<iscsi port>:<iscsi lun>:<iscsi target id> Then, depending on whether you are installing Windows from a DVD or from a WinPE image through tftp you would either run: exit so that gPXE hands things back over to the BIOS, to boot from DVD or: chain tftp://<server ip>/Boot/startrom.n12 so that gPXE starts the WinPE image ftom tftp. More info on the gPXE commandline can be found here [1]. Also, there's some good documentation on installing Windows to an iSCSI target in the gPXE howto guides [2]. Finally, I found the following page helpful if you get some errors [3]. If you created your iSCSI using tgtadm on Linux, be mindful that you probably have to specify an actual LUN parameter (rather than just ::::) in your isci address.
