+You can download the latest version as an MSI installer package from [[http://git.ipxe.org/release/sanbootconf/sanbootconf-latest.msi]].
+Older versions are available from [[http://git.ipxe.org/releases/sanbootconf]]. The source code is maintained in a git repository at [[http://git.ipxe.org/sanbootconf.git]].
+===== Getting started =====
+While booted from a local disk, download the [[http://git.ipxe.org/release/sanbootconf/sanbootconf-latest.msi|latest version of sanbootconf]] and install it.  You can then transfer the disk image to a SAN target and boot from it using your SAN protocol.

+===== Troubleshooting =====
+''sanbootconf'' will display text on the boot splash screen which appears while the kernel is looking for the boot disk.  For example:
+     iSCSI boot via iPXE
+     iqn.2010-04.org.ipxe.duckling:initiator
+:3c:dc:73:51:7e 10.0.0.186/255.255.255.0 gw 10.0.0.1
+.0.0.115 iqn.2010-04.org.ipxe.duckling:win2k8
+In this case, you can see that ''sanbootconf'' has detected that the system is attempting to boot via iSCSI.  The IP address configuration is displayed along with the iSCSI initiator and target details.
