[PATCH] VirtualBox INT18 patch for gPXE iSCSI boot/install

This patch provides next boot device when using gPXE.
Before installing OS to an iSCSI target, you have to connect the target.
And boot order must be gPXE first. It was tested only with iSCSI device.
It comes to be able to construct the iSCSI boot environment easily by
using gPXE(boot loader) and istgt(iSCSI target).

See the link about using gPXE and istgt boot sample(FreeNAS):
http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/freenas/viewtopic.php?f=102&t=5949

How to make:
# cd /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose
# tar xvf /path/to/vboxint18-20100310.tar.gz
# make clean
# make

You can use it with my VNC patch. If you want both, use VNC patch method.

I hope this helps iSCSI developing.

Regards,
Daisuke Aoyama
