Is there one? If so where can it be found? I have the 10.20 CD set but I don't think that there's an iSCSI initiator on there.
Thank you

ISCSI-INITIATOR(8) BSD System Manager's Manual ISCSI-INITIATOR(8)
NAME
iscsi-initiator -- refuse-based iSCSI initiator
SYNOPSIS
iscsi-initiator [-46bcDfVv] [-a authentication-type] [-d digest-type] [-h target-hostname] [-p target-port-number] [-t target-number]
[-u username] mount_point
DESCRIPTION
The iscsi-initiator utility can be used to access an iSCSI target, such as iscsi-target(8), to access block storage which has been exported.
Information pertaining to the target is displayed underneath the mount point, along with the device corresponding to the storage which the
target exports.
The various arguments are as follows:
-4 Use an IPv4 connection to the target.
-6 Use an IPv6 connection to the target.
-a authentication-type
Use the specified authentication type when communicating with the target. The possible values are chap, kerberos, srp or none. The
default value is none.
-b Show the storage as a block device.
-c Show the storage as a character device.
-d digest-type
Use the specified digest type when communicating with the target. The possible values are header, data, both, all or none. The
default value is none.
-D List the LUNs on the specified target and exit (i.e. do discovery only)
-f Show the storage as a regular file.
-h hostname
Connect to the iSCSI target running on the host specified as the argument.
-p port-number
Connect to the iSCSI target running on the port specified as the argument. The default value is 3260.
-t target
Connect to the number of the iSCSI target running as the argument.
-u username
Use the specified user's credentials when logging in to the iSCSI target. There is no default.
-V Print out the version number and then exit.
-v Be verbose in operation.
The refuse(3) library is used to provide the file system features.
The mandatory parameter is the local mount point.
This iSCSI initiator presents a view of the targets underneath the mount point. Firstly, it creates a directory tree with the hostname of
the target, and, in that directory, a virtual directory is created for each target name exported by the iSCSI target program. Within that
virtual target directory, symbolic links exist for the hostname (for convenience), a textual representation of the IP address, the iSCSI tar-
get product name, the iSCSI target IQN, the iSCSI target vendor and version number. One other directory entry is presented in the virtual
target directory, relating to the storage presented by the iSCSI target. This can be in the form of a regular file, which is also the
default, a block device or a character device.
Please note that the iscsi-initiator utility needs the ``puffs'' kernel module loaded via modload(8) to operate.

# ./iscsi-initiator -u agc -h iscsi-target0.alistaircrooks.co.uk /mnt

HISTORY
The iscsi-initiator utility first appeared in NetBSD 6.0. An earlier version called iscsifs was available in NetBSD 5.0 in source format
only.
AUTHORS
The iscsi-initiator utility was written by Alistair Crooks <agc@NetBSD.org>.
BUGS
iscsi-initiator currently only supports a CHAP challenge length of 16 octets. Other initiators support up to 1024 and thus it is expected
that most targets will also support such lengths. This means that CHAP compatibility with other targets apart from iscsi-target(8) is likely
to be poor. To workaround this, please use authentication type none by not specifying a username with the -u option.
