Sandy Bridge iSCSI boot

Desperately would like a Sandy Bridge machine that has all the UEFI support required to iSCSI boot itself over its embedded NIC.

Anyone know if there is a motherboard yet that supports this?
 
I thought they all do at this time, Im just assuming of course from the small ISCSI brousing ive done.

I got the idea that setting the BIOS LAN setting to boot from LAN, From there I didnt pay attention to detail other then it grabs bootsequence info and starts mounting all the drivers and needed OS.
 
Is Sandy Bridge even out for purchase yet? I though it wasn't being released until early 2011.

Anyway, I've only seen EFI/iSCSI offload combinations on OEM server level hardware. I think it'll be a while before it comes to consumers.

Nope, only with add-in NICs with iSCSI boot roms (ie: Intel's), or the open source gPXE package.

Through PXE, not iSCSI, which is a whole different ballgame.
