Thanks mate.

        host sanboot.garfield.internal {
                if exists user-class and option user-class = "gPXE" {
                        filename "sanboot.gpxe";
                } else {
                        filename "gpxe-1.0.1-gpxe.kpxe";
                }
                hardware ethernet 52:54:00:7B:7E:A7;
                option host-name "sanboot.garfield.internal";
                fixed-address sanboot.garfield.internal;
        }

sanboot.gpxe:


#!gpxe
sanboot iscsi:storage.garfield.internal:6:3260:1:iqn.2012-10.internal.garfield:sanboot

Is that okay?
