RE: Installing Win 8.1 64 Bit via iPXE
Are you trying this out in a virtual machine? I've noticed that WinPE 5.0 (the one based on Win8) crashes my VirtualBox (4.3.12). WinPE 4.0 works without issues.

You should download the latest version of wimboot and try out the simplified ipxe script (no need for fonts and bootmgr anymore) and see if that works better for you.

You can find details on how to start the installer directly using a batch file in this howto: http://ipxe.org/howto/winpe
