I changed the iPXE configuration to the following:

#!ipxe
clear net0/gateway
sanboot iscsi:192.168.178.5:::0:BootServer:0024XXXXXXXX

I still get the "INACCESABLE_BOOT_DEVICE" boot error.
If I try to reinstall Windows I see that the gateway is not reset in the 
PE setup step, so Windows PE could not access the LUN. This was working 
with the previous setting.

Is there anything other I can try ?
Any idea if I can activate some kind of logging to debug the boot process?

Regards,
