Hi, isboot is a iSCSI boot driver written by Daisuke Aoyama that allows you to boot your root partition using iSCSI. Installation is extremely simple: 1. extract the archive: # tar zxvf isboot-x.x.x.tar.gz 2. compile the module: # cd isboot-x.x.x/src # make 3. install the compiled module to the kernel directory: # make install 4. edit /boot/loader.conf, and add the following line: isboot_load="YES" This was first announced way back in June, 2010: https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-scsi/2010-June/004425.html I've tested the current version (v0.2.10) and it works with FreeBSD 10.2 booting a ZFS on root installation: http://www.peach.ne.jp/archives/isboot/isboot-0.2.10.tar.gz I've used iSCSI boot with Ubuntu Server for a while and it's been very useful. I'm looking forward to FreeBSD having the same capability built-in. Cheers, YonasReceived on Wed Sep 23 2015 - 06:13:02 UTC
