There are at least a half dozen if not a dozen HBA iSCSI initiators.
The only gating factor is price. A pxebooted ramdisk image with an
iSCSI software initiator in it is probably the best way to go for most
people. I don't think that there is a FreeBSD driver for any of the
current hardware iSCSI HBAs.
