Selecting boot adapter

Thanks for your help.

IS there anyway to specify which NIC to use as the boot adapter. The
machines I'm booting have two, dual port NICs (same hardware/drivers -
e1express). When I installed the iSCSI initiator (win2003) I selected
one of the ports to set as the boot device. Now that it is installed, I
would like to use a different port, but I've been unable to get it to
boot (stops with 0x0000007B). Any help/ideas would be great.

I've tried reinstalling iscsi initiator and selecting appropriate port.
I also ran iscsibcg /verify/fix and everything looked fine. 

I managed to switch ports in XP, using sanbootcfg. Can I use sanbootcfg
on Win2003? Would I have to remove the MS boot support?

Thanks

If you change BANNER_TIMEOUT in config/general.h from 20 down to 0, then
you 
will never see a prompt to enter the CLI.  This will also disable the 
POST-time prompt to enter the CLI, if you are building gPXE into ROM.
