Description

This installs Daisuke Aoyama's isboot kernel module, which allows booting FreeBSD directly from an iSCSI root disk. If your BIOS supports iSCSI you may configure your target settings in the BIOS and boot directly. If not, you may PXE boot using software that contains iSCSI support such as iPXE. The module reads the iSCSI Boot Firmware Table (IBFT) to configure the network and re-attach the volume once the kernel begins execution.
