How does iSCSI work for Windows then?

I setup iPXE to boot Windows 7 (Embedded Standard technically) to boot off an iSCSI target and it shows up as a disk in Windows. Does Windows still allow for int 13h handlers or is there some other special handling?

iPXE uses the iBFT[1] to pass this information to the OS.
