I do not understand what you are trying to say.

On x86 architectures the iBFT (iSCSI Boot Firmware Table) is used to 
pass iSCSI boot parameters to the OS. The iSCSI boot parameters include 
target information and InitiatorName ... so that a new session 
(attaching to the same LUN) can be established by the OS driver.

I am arguing that "very little else" is actually too little ;)
