Re: centos iscsi boot?
Please read the manual, chapters 5.10 - iSCSI servers and 8.16 - VBoxManage storageattach. It describes how to use iSCSI as VM source drive. I don't have experience with it, so unless someone who knows how to use it and has it running comes along, you're stuck with trial and error the old fashioned way.

Re: centos iscsi boot?
Fedora 14 can also be installed directly to an iscsi target. I've done that with virtualbox.
To boot from the iscsi target is a bit tricky. By following the vbox menu, I have successfully hooked the iscsi target with vbox.
But as of now, I have never made vbox to boot from my iscsi target. Still trying...
