[syslinux] Syslinux 3.70pre9 - sanboot.c32 says: gPXE API not detected'

[Nico de Haer]

All,

Happy to report iscsi also works!

For those who want to have a go at it:
1) install and configure pxelinux 3.70
1) install, prepare, image and export your OS (see:
http://www.etherboot.org/wiki/sanboot) for excellent howto's
2) instead of adding the 'opton root-path="<mytarget>"' to your dhcp server
config add this to your pxelinux config file:
LABEL sanboot
        MENU LABEL Boot image from SAN
        kernel sanboot.c32
        append <aoe|iscsi>:<mytarget>

Regards,

Nico
