agc 105ae1b5f8 Initial import of the NetBSD iSCSI target and test harness, version
20060209. This is taken from the NetBSD src/dist/iscsi tree.

	iSCSI is an IETF standard (RFC 3720) for remote access to block-level
	storage.  It can be thought of as similar to NFS, except that an NFS
	server exports files; the iSCSI target exports blocks to the iSCSI
	initiators, which are the clients.

	To set up the target, you need to edit the /etc/iscsi/targets file.
	It has a certain layout, to provide a means of (a) mirroring and (b)
	combining multiple areas to present one large contiguous area of
	storage.  This can be multiply-layered.

This package will replace the earlier intel-iscsi package, on which it is
based.
