I can see a lot of potential applications for it. I set up a test machine and got as far as booting the FreeBSD 10-CURRENT kernel from an istgt LUN, but it failed to find the root device--the isboot.ko module loaded fine but the iBFT handoff didn't happen so the network was not configured early enough. This machine has an sk(4) NIC, and I am chain-loading gPXE using the "undionly.kpxe" image. I have a few questions for you (or other knowledgeable people on the list): 1) Does iBFT require hardware support in the NIC? 2) Does iBFT require NIC driver support? 3) Is anything required in loader.conf besides isboot_load="YES"? 3) How hard would it be to get this working with sk(4)? 4) Is it likely to work (better) if I find an em(4) card instead?
