Incorrect attempt to use root-path
It appears that a bug has crept into iPXE whereby what *should* be an unsupported root-path (eg an NFS root) is treated as "supported", resulting in a "Could not open SAN device" error. This looks like quite a recent bug, the version that ships with Ubuntu 14.04 works fine!

The following patch (amending parenthesis closures) fixes the problem; although I'm quite new to iPXE I think this is correct, and will not have any undesirable side-effects:

Code:
angus@ganymede:src$ git diff master lincor -- usr/autoboot.c
diff --git a/src/usr/autoboot.c b/src/usr/autoboot.c
index 8c6b690..96260d3 100644
--- a/src/usr/autoboot.c
+++ b/src/usr/autoboot.c

         * it may represent an NFS root.
         */
        if ( filename && root_path &&
-            ( ! ( uri_is_absolute ( root_path ) ||
-                  ( xfer_uri_opener ( root_path->scheme ) == NULL ) ) ) ) {
+            ( ! ( uri_is_absolute ( root_path )) ||
+                  ( xfer_uri_opener ( root_path->scheme ) == NULL ) ) ) {
                printf ( "Ignoring unsupported root path\n" );
                uri_put ( root_path );
                root_path = NULL;
