HI ipxe developers,
it seems, that the support of SANBOOT EFI on VMWARE ESXi 6.5 on a "x86_x64 VM" and a "i386 VM" is not working
ON the Bios based machines in VMWARE and on physical computers it is working well!

I get the error "COULD NOT DESCRIBE SAN DEVICES: Operation not supported (http://ipxe.org/3c222083)

I build the IPXE.EFI binaries via Rom-O-Matic website with the default settings.

Here is my IPXE script code snip and a attachment:
:WinISCSIBoot
                set  root-path  iscsi:${iscsi-srv}:tcp:3260:0:${iscsi-target}              ||
                sanboot  --drive=0x80 ${root-path}                                                       ||
                goto WinISCSIInst

:WinISCSIInst
                set  root-path  iscsi:${iscsi-srv}:tcp:3260:0:${iscsi-target}              ||
                sanhook  --drive=0x80 ${root-path}                                                      ||
                goto WimbootWK                                                                                     ||

Output in case of SANBOOT:
REGISTERED SAN DEVICE 0x80
COULD NOT DESCRIBE SAN DEVICE:OPERATION NOT SUPPORTED (http://ipxe.org/3c222083)

Output in case of SANHOOK:
COULD NOT OPEN SAN DEVICE: Error 0x0323209 (http://ipxe.org/03232094)

Thank you for your help

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
DI Martin Lugger
