The
Code:
RXE: 5 x "Operation not supported ( http://ipxe.org/3c086003 )"
error message is just because you've received packets iPXE doesn't understand. It is nothing to worry about.

You haven't actually stated what problem you're having. The screenshot doesn't actually show anything wrong. Please reply back with the actual problem you're having.

Ive tried this, and had constant issues when going the VMware / Virtualbox route with anything but an Intel Adapter.

I managed to get a good success rate, by actually installing onto physical disk, then installing the latest nic driver, AOEDisk / ISCSI initiator setup and running the ccboot client to do the registry entries required to get ethernet booting. Then , attach an "empty" AOE / ISCSI disk and check that it registers correctly.

Therafter I used a windows backup tool (in my case AOMEI Backupper Standard) to do a system backup to an image file, and then a restore to the attached ISCSI / AOE disk.

Shut down, remove physical disk, power on, change boot params to netboot, and watch it work .. 10 / 10 with realtek nics.

Good luck

It could be a driver bug in the intel driver. You should try to see if the http://ipxe.org/dev/driver test instructions all pass on the machine you're having issues with. If they fail in some regard you should get in touch with the core developers and debug the driver. There could be some issues.
