Done, but it didn't get any farther

Done

memtest comes out ok with all tested Versions, the other software I have never heard of. If you can provide a link to it I will test it too.
Memtest seemed to boot just fine, might be because it is a floppy image rather than an ISO Image

It definitely gets farther ahead and it also boots instantly, but no matter what iso I boot (and they all work over regular pxe or if booted with syslinux from a usb drive) at some point in the boot sequence it stops, I assume that the OS from the image sort of "drops the handle" to the iPXE sanboot layer.

I tried it but the result is the same.
