Maybe add something to make it clear what a 'target' and an 'initiator'
is, so people understand what's there and what is not:
``In iSCSI, the party offering a SCSI device (the server) is called a
"target", and the party using that device (the client" is called an
"initiator". An iSCSI initiator for NetBSD is currently under
development''
This sounds excellent!
