Dear Thomas,

I have been making some test with a PowerEdge R200, this is the  
server info:

- BIOS version 1.0.0

- Broadcom NetXtreme Boot Agent v8.3.9

Entering in the NIC menu with "Control+S" I don't see any option to  
enable boot from iSCSI:

In the "Boot Menu - F11" there's no option for iSCSI:

I will try with a PowerEdge 1950 but I think that is needed a PCIe  
card or a new firmware for the NIC.

Regards,
