I have two main problems with virtualbox and need some advice on how
to get around what I'm finding...

1) gPXE can sanboot from iscsi:FQDN:::1:win7

where FQDN is the hostname of my server and 1 is the LUN that needs to boot

Virtualbox can't seem to figure this out.

I can VBoxManage addiscsidisk --server --lun --target

but all I get is an error that there was a VERR_PARSE_ERROR which if I
read the documentation correctly means that something is now wrong
with the xml configuration file.

The syntax of the iscsi disk label shows the lun AFTER the target
name, but I cant tell if this is just a label problem or if its a real
problem.

2) when netbooting with pxe to gpxelinux.0 and using the gpxe prompt
to set keep-san 1
and set sanboot iscsi:FQDN:::1:win7 and getting the proper notice that
the sanboot setup was successful but that the disk could not be booted
as it has no OS, I should be able to type "exit" and the gPXE prompt
and the boot sequence should continue at the next device which is the
DVD/CD device.

Vbox hangs right after I type "exit" and does nothing,
