Try making the disk signature 0 in the OS image you are booting from.
This signature starts at offset of 440 and is 4 bytes long. Take a look
at MBR wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record.

Subject: [Etherboot-discuss] Need help with San boot - Windows XP boot
stuckat Logo

=20

=20

I was trying to do a san boot (gpxe) using a windows XP and I am facing
some issues with it.

=20

I have installed Microsoft iscsi boot initiator and san boot as
mentioned on website (http://etherboot.org/wiki/sanboot/winnt_iscsi) and
followed the steps mentioned, installing win XP on 4 gb partition and
trying to boot it from a Linux machine. The problem I am facing is the
boot goes fine till I see the windows logo and then it just sits there
and it goes in some kind of weird loop there.=20

=20

So, in order to debug, I installed windbg and I noticed some
irregularities:

"No sBFT found".

=20

I am trying to san boot on a Windows Desktop (Dell model).=20

=20

I am attaching the debugging transcript  I got from windbg, Can someone
please let me know what's wrong?

=20

Really appreciate your help in advance.

=20

Thanks

Ali
