Reason is that the driver does not support this mode (yet). I guess you
already have been told that the aic7xxx and isp drivers are providing some
host target mode through FreeBSD-CAM, but, btw, there is nothing for now
related to IP over SCSI in FreeBSD-CAM.

I have target mode for the sym driver on my todo list and even have some
prelimary code ready since September, but due to limited time (and
probably too limited brain :) ) I am very late on that development.

At the moment, I am working on an unified SYM driver (nothing to do with
UDI at all, but just a portable driver based on cpp features) for Linux
and FreeBSD. It is based on FreeBSD sym and will (does, since I already
use it) replace the 3 drivers I currently maintain (2 under Linux and
`sym' under FreeBSD).

I cannot announce any date of availability for target mode support in
`sym'. I wanted to have it before end-2K, but I will probably be weeks or
months late.

  G=E9rard.
