Probably only the install-time card is marked as boot-start. The easiest way to mark all cards as boot-start is to install sanbootconf: http://git.ipxe.org/release/sanbootconf/sanbootconf-latest.zip > On a related note, what is the recommended way to get more bandwidth to the > iSCSI target using gPXE and Windows 7?

On earlier versions, I seem to remember MPIO being an option that had to be enabled at the time of installing the iSCSI initiator; not sure how that will map to Windows 7, where it's pre-installed. BTW, please consider upgrading to iPXE (http://ipxe.org), since it is actively maintained.
