[ipxe-devel] sanboot error questions

[Christian Nilsson]

Since you are not running in EFI mode, it makes little sense to use filename.
iPXE tries to invoke BIOS to run the disk and the bootsector on the
disk - and this fails.
Does the disk have a valid bootsector?
Could you tcpdump the iSCSI traffic and make sure it has valid data?

Your second sanboot command fails because the --drive is already taken
which has some information at the error url that wasn't included:
http://ipxe.org/03232019
You are using --no-describe, this results in the iBFT not being filled
in, which means that Windows won't be able to find the disk (there is
lots of other magic here as well)
I think you should try one sanboot, without any extra options other
than only the SAN target, that should simplify things.
