Code:
#!ipxe
dhcp
set keep-san 1
sanhook iscsi:192.168.3.8::::iqn.freenas.comreshds.local.istgt:win2008-1

But it hangs on trying to boot to CD-ROM after this. I have even disabled the onboard NICs and installed an INTEL card with the same results.

Any suggestions?

Falling back to DVD-ROM after a network boot attempt is known to be unreliable on some BIOSes. Since you're using iSCSI and Windows Server 2008, you could try setting up a WDS server: this allows you to perform direct-to-iSCSI installations without using a DVD-ROM. It's simple to set up, and you can find instructions as http://ipxe.org/howto/wds_iscsi.

Unfortunately I need Server 2003 along with flavors of Linux as well. I may need to to a local install and then push the image up to SAN afterwards.
