I then initiated a Windows 10 (version 1607) OS installation into a mounted iSCSI virtual disk, but ran into the dreaded "iSCSI deployment is disabled since no NICs referenced in the iBFT can be resolved to actual NT-visible devices." error message. I'm trying to figure out what I might have done wrong, or whether iPXE may have an issue with iBFT in EFI mode.

I think there is one patch for ibft in efi mode on the mailing list that you want to grab, there is also one patch about executable boot.

Normaly winboot is used to boot into winpe, which has worked for quite some time...

There is one or 2 other patches from Vishvananda Ishaya Abrams which you might want to apply, most of them from December.
