Dear Drew,

In an PE 1950 with "Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708" I can  
see boot from iSCSI option in the NIC menu.

In other servers, like PE860 or R200, with "NetXtreme I" (aka Tigon3)  
NIC card there's no iSCSI option in the menu, it's possible enable  
this feature in those servers? Thanks!!

Regards,
