[ipxe-devel] SANBOOT/SANHOOK VMWARE Esxi 6.5 EFI

[Christian Nilsson]

Hi,
The error from sanhook suggests that you are hooking to a drive number
that is already in use.
It could be due to previous san commands in the same run..
I'm not sure why you are using --drive, I would start with removing
--drive part from you commands.

Your iscsi uri seems a bit weird as well, by mentioning EFI are you
saying that this works in PCBIOS mode but not EFI?
