Follow the helpful link in the error message that iPXE gave you: http://ipxe.org/1d0c6239. Then track down and fix the problem with your web server that iPXE is reporting.

That's too large to load under BIOS. The whole image needs to fit below 2GB, due to hardcoded assumptions within the Windows kernel.

You will need to switch your system to a native UEFI boot in order to use a 6GB image. You should be able to use the same iPXE script and wimboot binary under UEFI.
