No disks when booting windows 7 setup (x86/x64) from an iSCSI target

RE: No disks when booting windows 7 setup (x86/x64) from an iSCSI target
If you want to boot directly from the iSCSI volume you should use this code:
Code:
set netX/gateway ${iscsi-server}
sanboot ${iscsi-url}:iqn.2014-11.lan.server:windows_7_sp1_en_x86 || goto failed
If that volume is an ISO of the Windows installer DVD you won't be able to complete, because it's like you having a machine with only a DVDROM and no HDD. Unfortunately iPXE can only hook one iSCSI volume at a time, so you'll need to hook the iSCSI HDD volume you want to install to and load the windows installer files via a network share (e.g. samba) and boot the installer using the tutorial at http://ipxe.org/howto/winpe.
