(might give it a try if i get time after the weekend.) Yes. gPXE + istgt can be used. I have confirmed with Windows before. Now I tested with FreeBSD 8.1+isboot0.1.3 (integrated). If you use integrated version, you can install FreeBSD to iSCSI target, mentioned in http://www.etherboot.org/wiki/sanboot/iscsi_install. There is the log of my old machine which have Intel Fast Ether onboard.
