I am trying to install windows 10 via network boot on a VM (later on, I want to do that on real computers). Therefore I use Debian 9 and VMWare 12.
On my Debian system I have implemented an isc-dhcp-server and a tftpd-hpa-server. On top of that I have syslinux. I changed the menu so that I am able to boot Debian 10 and Kali-Linux via network with images from netboot. This works fine.
Nevertheless, I am not able to boot a windows 10 iso. My file looks as follows:
label install
menu label ^Install
kernel windows10-installer/amd64/memdisk
initrd windows10-installer/amd64/win10pe.iso
append iso raw
I created the win10pe.iso from a windows 10 iso by mounting it to a startup script as explaind in this link https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Windows_PE. Therefore I used the package mkwinpeimg.
When I choose windows 10 to boot, I can see:
Loading /memdisk... ok
Loading /winpe10.iso...
After one or two minutes the following error message appears:

I am not sure what I have done wrong. Is there a mistake with my winpe or my startup script or is ca. 300MB to much for my ftp server? I have also read something about gpxelinux.0 instead of pxelinux.0, but I do not know where tp get gpxelinux.0. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advanche.
