I can boot a pmagic.iso image with memdisk : ok.

but I cannot boot a win7.iso with sanboot.
I can actually boot up to the windows wizard where i should a disk to install to but then the wizard complains about a missing cd/dvd driver.
Any idea why?

Windows has no way to access the SAN-booted .iso image. As soon as the Windows kernel starts up, the real-mode INT 13 interface provided by iPXE's "sanboot" ceases to exist.

For installing Windows over the network, the easiest way is to use wimboot as described at http://ipxe.org/howto/winpe#installing_windows.
