iSCSI root installs fine but doesn't boot

[Dennis J.]

So I'm experimenting with iscsi and everything went fine until I ran into a 
problem. I setup a 2gb file as an iscsi target on my desktop and tested it 
locally which worked perfectly fine. Then I started a network install on my 
laptop choosing the advanced storage configuration option, specifying the 
target on my desktop machine and then proceeded with the install. Then the 
system rebootet and now I get:

iscsistart: Logging into 4-04.org.netbsd.iscsi-target:target0 
192.168.2.100:3260,1
iscsistart: cannot make connection to 192.168.2.100:3260 (-1,101)
iscsistart: initiator reported error (4 - encountered connection failure)

I did a tcpdump on port 3260 on my desktop machine (192.168.2.100) but 
don't see any packets from my laptop (192.168.2.101). Also there doesn't 
seem to be any timeouts or retries. The kernel immediately fails unable to 
find a suitable root device.

Since I'm new to the iscsi stuff I'm wondering if anyone has an idea what 
the problem could be or what component I should file a bug for.
